This document is a court transcript from August 10, 2022, detailing a legal argument among attorneys Ms. Pomerantz, Ms. Menninger, and Ms. Sternheim before a judge. The core issue is the potential use of the word "rape" in relation to a witness's prior statement, with the defense arguing it is inflammatory and prejudicial. The judge ultimately overrules the objection, stating that a witness's denial of being raped is not suggestive of the opposite and is relevant to the witness's credibility.
