BONUS | Dr. Kamala London's Expert Opinion

IN ESTO - What really happened to Adrianna Hutto?
Bonus content - Dr. Kamala London's Expert Opinion

Dr. Kamala London gives her expert opinion on the interviews and testimony of AJ Hutto. Dr. London is the Department of Psychology, Professor & Department Chair at the University of Toledo. She has a Postdoctoral Fellowship at John Hopkins University and is the authority on memory and suggestibility in children and adolescents especially during court testimony.

I have broken this episode into 4 chapters:
First, the interview by the sheriffs and influences beforehand.
Secondly, the direct impact on AJ and why the interviewers appear to have had little understanding of the potential burden being put on a six-year-old.
Thirdly, the lack of open questions and why the trial testimony was meaningless.
Lastly, what best practice should look like when interviewing a small child.
Including “Narrative Practice” and “Hypothesis Testing” rather than a “Hypothesis Confirming” approach.
