U.S. v. Grassrope

1 Citing case

  1. State v. E.V.P.

    No. A-4513-19 (App. Div. Jun. 21, 2021)

    That is hardly surprising given Yvette's tender age, the threat that defendant made to her, and the stress of testifying in court. See McCormick On Evidence ยง 9 (Mosteller ed., 8th ed. 2020) (noting that "testifying at trial can be an intimidating experience"); Cf. United States v. Grassrope, 342 F.3d 866, 869 (8th Cir. 2003) ("We have repeatedly upheld the use of leading questions to develop the testimony of sexual assault victims, particularly children."). Yvette's statement clearly refreshed her recollection.
