If the > professional testifies that the child said the rape occurred, > it had better be consistent with the court transcripts of > his/her interview with the child
Her interview was one on one -no court, no transcripts, no tape. Just the CPS worker and the child alone. her word alone.
> Not unless she's also a lawyer. If she is not and she sat at > the prosecutor's table, it was as a witness.
Witnesses are not allowed in the courtroom until after they have testified and usually not even then. This is so they cannot modify their testimony based on what they hear from previous witnesses. The judge said she could not remain in the courtroom. The DA invoked a rule that allows the DA to have 1 other person at his table. This person does not have to be a lawyer. She is not. My friend tried to get a motion passed to allow his expert witness to sit in on the trial as well and was refused.

His defense is that the only time he ever touched her in the pubic area was in the act of normal hygiene. Applying diaper rash cream etc. He had the daughters medical chart which showed a phone conv where the child's physician advised him to do so when she had a rash.

There is/was no evidence. The doctor said so. The mother said so. The one person who said so testified illegally. The appeals court agreed that she should not have been able to testify. But they declared it harmless error. This is the same appellate court that declared it harmless error when a man was convicted by a jury containing a man who did not speak english. He sat in prison until the supreme court ordered him a new trial.

> Why not get more information before you get angry?
No offense marta, but I have a lot of information. The people I talked to were at the trial and heard the same evidence the jurors did. My friend went to trial with the same naive confidence in the jury system you have. It cost him everything.
