Summary
This document is a page from a court transcript (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) dated August 10, 2022. It features the redirect examination of a witness named Loftus (likely Dr. Elizabeth Loftus), who explains the ethical restrictions placed on psychologists by human subjects review committees, specifically noting they cannot deliberately plant memories of sexual abuse. The page concludes with the defense attorney asking Loftus about the government's suggestion during cross-examination that she is a 'profiteer' for testifying for the defense.

1 restrictions placed upon the type of experiments that a
2 psychologist is allowed to perform?
3 MS. POMERANTZ: Objection.
4 THE COURT: Overruled.
5 A. Yes, you did.
6 Q. And please explain to the jury why that is.
7 MS. POMERANTZ: Objection.
8 Asked and answered, your Honor.
9 THE COURT: I'll allow it.
10 A. The human subjects review committees at universities and
11 colleges are in place to try to protect human beings from being
12 involved in experiments that might be harmful to them. And so
13 that is why these committees will review your proposal for a
14 piece of research and either allow you to go forward with your
15 proposal or not allow you to go forward or suggest
16 modifications that would allow you to go forward.
17 But their interest is in making sure -- or trying to
18 ensure that you're not doing something to harm the research --
19 that might harm the research participants. That's why we
20 would, as I thought I indicated earlier in my testimony, would
21 not be probably, you know, allowed to deliberately plant
22 memories of sexual abuse.
23 Q. On cross-examination, the government had suggested that you
24 are a profiteer when you testify for the defense. Do you
25 remember that?
