Understanding Trauma: Why Dr. Speckhard’s Testimony Is Essential

In this episode, we break down the Commonwealth’s Motion in Limine to exclude defense expert Dr. Speckhard and all evidence related to mental health. The prosecution claims jurors already understand how a person “should” act during a traumatic event. But science says otherwise. We explain why trauma responses are not common knowledge, why lay assumptions are often scientifically wrong, and why expert testimony is essential for a jury to form an intelligent, informed conclusion. The Commonwealth’s own pretrial arguments reveal a deep misunderstanding of trauma, memory, and human behavior under extreme stress—exactly why Dr. Speckhard’s testimony matters. This isn’t about opinion. It’s about science, fairness, and whether the jury is allowed to hear the truth. ⸻ 🔖 Hashtags #MotionInLimine #ExpertTestimony #MentalHealthEvidence #TraumaScience #JuryEducation #DueProcess #RightToDefense #ForensicPsychology #CourtroomTruth #JusticeSystem #DefenseRights
