Re: [EXTERNAL] Re: Expert Witness
Dr. Goodman,
My colleagues, and I are the prosecutors in the case of United States v. Ghislaine Maxwell, which is scheduled to go to trial beginning on November 29, 2021 in the Southern District of New York. We are reaching out because we would be interested in speaking with you about consulting with us and potentially testifying at the trial. Would it be possible to schedule a call to discuss?
Thanks very much,

Hello,
I have attached several articles of mine that provide a sense of my research findings, especially on long-term memory for child sexual abuse experiences. I selected publications that are fairly "quick reads." I hope you find them of interest. I can follow this up with my vita and some associated information later tonight. Thank you, and Happy Thanksgiving!
Sincerely,

Hello Again,
Attached please find my vita. Also, here attached is a list of federal court trials in which I testified. In these cases, my expert testimony was for the prosecution. I have never testified in federal court for the defense.
I want to explain what I was saying in regard to misinformation--that it can actually make memory better. Imagine I said, "When I called you today, we had a nice discussion." This is a misleading question because I did not call you. As your memory for what really happened is still strong, this misinformation can make your memory for who called who more accurate. Findings such as these, as applied to memorable personally significant events, show that memory is not as subject to error as some contend. As I am not working for you at this time, I hope it is OK for me to explain this important effect, as you may find it helpful in your work down the road.
Sincerely,
Gail Goodman

Hello
I just saw your message. I am available tomorrow (Tuesday) to talk. However, I was not sure if you are free at 1 pm CA time (PST) or NY time (EST). Here is my schedule for Tuesday, Nov 30:
Available CA times:
9 am to 10 am
10:30 am to 12:00 pm (noon) on my car phone
1 pm to 2:00 pm
2:30 pm to 4:00 pm on my car phone
4:30 pm to 8:00 pm
While I will be available at 1 pm PST or EST, or in the evening Tuesday, it would be at to know which time you meant to make sure I leave time free and answer my cell phone
Also, it is about 8:30 pm in CA so I assume now is too late for you, but I will be up for some time, if you get this message and want to talk tonight. Thank you for emailing me about a follow-up call.
Sincerely,
Gail
Hello
No problem. CA time 2:30 to 4:00 pm works fine. I have plenty to work on, and I know you all must be under a lot of pressure.
Best,
Gail

Hi Dr. Goodman,
Our lunch break is shorter than expected and we can't do the call at 10:30 your time. I'm so sorry - I know you changed your plans to be available. We should be free from 2:30 to 4 your time. Can we talk then if you still have that window available?
Thanks a lot, and our apologies again,

Hi
It turns out 6:30 pm CA time is fine. I will walk the dog now. We expect to go out to dinner at 7:30 pm.
Best,
Gail
