The child molestation trial for Tonya Craft started this morning with the prosecution showing two taped interviews with one of the alleged victims and a forensic interviewer.
During cross-examination after the videos were shown, defense attorney Demosthenes Lorandos asked Stacy Long, the interviewer in the videos, several questions about the nature of memory.
“Sometimes we can’t remember the source of a memory, correct?” he asked.
“Yes,” said Ms. Long, who worked for the Children’s Advocacy Center when she interviewed the alleged victim on May 27, 2008.
Ms. Craft, a former Chickamauga elementary teacher, is charged with 22 counts of child molestation, aggravated sexual battery and aggravated child molestation.
