Items related to You the Jury: A Recovered Memory Case : Allegations...
Can a person repress memories of childhood sexual abuse and then suddenly "recover" those memories ten, fifteen, or twenty years later?
In You the Jury, you will hear opposing arguments on both sides of the question, Are recovered memories reality or fantasy? You'll be drawn into the fast-paced drama that unfolds both outside and inside the courtroom when the plaintiff, 27-year-old Roberta Claire, decides to file a lawsuit charging childhood sexual abuse by the defendant, Roberta's stepfather, 66-year-old Lloyd Adams. Although the alleged incidents occurred more than fifteen years ago, Roberta is convinced they actually happened. Lloyd, on the other hand, insists he is innocent and claims that Roberta's psychologist planted the awful memories in his stepdaughter's mind.
Most important, when the case goes to trial and is argued by real attorneys Mark Roseman and William Craig, you'll be invited to participate in the decision-making process as a voting member of the jury. Will you be convinced that Roberta's memories of abuse are real and find for the plaintiff? Will you reject the theory of recovered memories as "junk science" and find for the defendant? Only by mailing in your Verdict Card can You the Jury tell us how the story will end.

From the Author:
Readers participate as decision-making, voting jurors.
Allegations of childhood sexual abuse, in the context of a civil lawsuit for money damages, is an emotionally shocking experience for both the accuser and the accused. This book explores the emotional aspects of such a lawsuit, and guides the reader through the web of the litigation process, from the drafting of the complaint through the closing arguments of counsel at trial. The authors' goal is to present a behind the scenes study of recovered memory litigation. Readers participate as jurors by recording their decisions - Did Lloyd Adams actually molest his step-daughter Roberta Claire some 15 years earlier...etc. and if so, what money damages, if any, should be awarded to Roberta? The reader's decision is recorded on a tear-out "Special Verdict" form at the end of the book, which will be tallied by the national accountancy firm of Deloitte & Touche, with the final verdict being announced at the 1998 Book Expo of America in Chicago. The intention of the authors is to present a fair, and evenly presently case for both sides, in a hotly contested area of memory - recovered memories of childhood sexual abuse.
