I definitely wouldn't allow for repressed memory testimony to be used as  evidence in my courtroom. This is because they simply aren't reliable due to a number of factors including the memory sins we've discussed previously as well as the fact that some individuals can be highly subject to influence from medical professionals, who themselves, may also unknowingly be subject to their own biases which can influence their handling/treatment of patients within the context of repressed memories. The example of Beth Rutherford is a prime example of all of the reasons why I would not allow it.

As a judge, I personally, would not allow a repressed memory testimony to be admissible in my courtroom. Eyewitness testimonies alone are some of the most unreliable testimonies within court and I feel as though this is a very similar concept. I think since memories can be altered by our brains and memories can be implanted I think that this does not grant solid evidence to be admissible in the courtroom. I also believe that there isn't enough scientific support behind this practice to deem it as a solid piece of evidence in court.

As a judge, I would not allow the usage of repressed/ suppressed memories as a testimony evidence into the courtroom. Furthermore, the utilization of a clinical therapist can be swindled; in other words the memories can be altered, falsified or implanted. In addition, there is no empirical nor scientifically support to subsidize this evidence. In conclusion, these memories are not reliable to justify in the court.

As a judge, I would not allow repressed memories to be used in the courtroom. There have been cases of false memories arising or being implanted in a patient when they work to recall repressed memories. There is no evidence to support the accuracy of repressed memories meaning a false testimony could be given when determining the fate of the accused. It could be hurtful to a victim who wants to testify but with no evidence supporting repressed memories as a testimony it could possibly do more harm than good.

As a judge, I would not allow the use of repressed memory testimony as evidence in my courtroom. I came to this conclusion based off of the fact that the use of a therapist/therapy can sway the opinions of those who are called to testify. Additionally, there is no empirical evidence to support the testimony nor were there any implications or uses of the scientific method. It is also easy to have false memories implanted into the brain due to it being easily fallible, and with constant repetition, this could be a source of "repressed memories."

As a judge I would not allow this case to be considered repressed memories.  False memories, especially in this case of possible child sexual abuse, were definitely in existence. No empirical evidence, peer review and other stipulations are not valid.  Using transience, hindsight or any other topic discussed in this class could possibly appear to represent repressed memories, which is not true.

As a judge, I would not allow repressed memories as evidence in the courtroom. First, repressed memories do not have enough empirical research, because of the conflict with ethics, to be tested. For a survivor in therapy it is difficult to tell whether they have recalled the memory as a real life event that happened to them in the past or if they've had an imprinted memory. The concepts we learned earlier in this class, such as misattribution , transience, and blocking, could come into play and could (not always) be mistaken for a repressed memory. Therefore, repressed memories aren't stable or reliable enough to be admissible evidence in court.

I am under the 'Do Not Exist' position, as a judge I would not allow this evidence in my courtroom, it's not reliable, as mentioned in discussions it is psychological folklore and simply doesn't have any empirical support. Trauma is very real, but when using therapy such as hypnosis, as per the story of Beth Rutherford I do not want to be in the business of putting anyone behind bars or have to be subjected to altering life situations because of false memories implanted by these practices.

If I were a judge I would not allow repressed memories to be reliable in memory testimony. As we learned in class early on, there are different ways we remember things that have happened to us. 7 sins of memory: Transcience, absent mindedness, blocking, misattribution, suggestibility, hindsight bias, and persistence. I feel that when using therapy, especially hypnosis, it is easy to implant false memories into ones mind.
