1:14:00
and I was very confused
and very angry about this,
1:14:04
thinking, well,
why are these people
1:14:05
going around
telling my parents
1:14:08
that all kinds of
things have happened
1:14:09
when I have simply no
recollection of anything?
1:14:14
Children want
to please very often.
1:14:16
They want to give you
the answers that you want.
1:14:18
Adults do that as well.
1:14:20
So you have to be
very mindful of the fact
1:14:22
that when you're
interviewing a child
1:14:24
if the child starts
to answer questions
1:14:27
your responses should be
somewhat in the framework of
1:14:29
"And then what happened?"
1:14:30
Or, "What happened next?"
1:14:32
Or, "What do you remember then?"
1:14:33
As opposed to
1:14:35
"He did this to you,
didn't he?"
1:14:38
Or "She did this to you,
didn't she?"
1:14:40
That's a very,
very dangerous type
1:14:43
of interview process to use.
1:14:45
If you talk to
a lot of children
1:14:46
you don't give them
an option, really.
1:14:48
You just, you be
pretty honest with them.
1:14:50
You have to tell them
pretty honestly that
1:14:52
"We know you went
to Mr. Friedman's class.
1:14:55
We know how many times
you've been to the class. "
1:14:57
You know, we go through
the whole routine.
1:14:59
"We know that there
was a good chance
1:15:02
that he touched you
or Jesse touched you
1:15:04
or somebody in that family
touched you
1:15:06
in a very inappropriate way. "
1:15:08
And I listened
to them talking to him
1:15:10
and it got to a point
1:15:13
where it wasn't
asking him what happened.
1:15:16
It was more of them
telling him what happened
1:15:20
and that when they didn't
like what he said
1:15:25
they kept repeating to him
that they know what happened
1:15:29
and that he should tell.
1:15:31
I believe that I remember saying
that I saw Jesse, like
1:15:35
chase after a kid or hit a kid
or something like that
1:15:37
and that's what I testified to
to the grand jury.
1:15:41
And I remember saying
that because I felt
1:15:46
and I feel like
when I said that
1:15:47
that ended the questioning.
1:15:51
And so that might
have meant that
1:15:53
you could infer maybe
that they were asking me
1:15:54
a lot of questions,
trying to get something
1:15:56
and I just wanted
to give them something.
1:15:59
I mean I don't want to be
