1 THE COURT: So the basic point is to the extent she
2 talked about the literature regarding delayed disclosure in the
3 context of sexual abuse, you want to ask if there are other
4 reasons for delayed disclosure.
5 MR. PAGLIUCA: Yes.
6 THE COURT: And explore her expertise on those other
7 reasons?
8 MR. PAGLIUCA: Well, she's being proffered as an

13 disclose. There are other things, and they relate to other
14 facts in this case. And I think that we're entitled to bring
15 those things out on this expert who is testifying as a blind
16 expert. It's just fair game for cross-examination.

24 aware of other reasons. Are you aware of this kind of
25 literature? Are you aware of that kind -- but to actually have
