The cognitive interview is used to retrieve a victim's memory. Here are the steps.
-
The eyewitness is asked to return mentally to the scene of the crime and review everything about the scene and the people there.
-
The subject is asked to report everything that comes to mind about the incident and the scene.
-
The witness is then asked to recall the events in reverse order or in an order that progresses both forward and backward from a point in time.
-
The subject is asked to recall the incident from a different perspective or from the perspective of others who were present.
I propose that with this type of interview, the interviewer, one-on-one and not in the current hearing setting, they can get more detailed information from Ford. If a lawyer wanted to try this in court (criminal/civil) then the cognitive interview is more powerful in providing a shadow of doubt or preponderance of evidence instead of polygraph.
That is what I think the prosecutor will state later.
