I became hyper-critical of myself, as if the defense attorney had set up shop in my own mind. Horrible moments of our lives and how defense attorneys frame them can become public fodder. The goal of a defense attorney seems to be to break the survivor giving testimony. I see a screenshot of text of an exchange between Carroll and Joseph Tacopina, defense attorney for Trump. The National Sexual Assault Hotline is 1-800-656-4673 and provided by RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) 24/7.
