Episode Synopsis

When evidence is mostly memory and timing, how do you find the truth? We sit down with defense attorney Ryan Fremont, who blends courtroom craft with formal training in psychology to navigate some of the toughest cases in the legal system: sex crimes where the stakes are life-altering and the proof often lives in words, not lab results.Ryan walks us through the anatomy of these cases, from dissecting forensic interviews at child advocacy centers to mapping every statement across time for inconsistencies, impossibilities, and signs of suggestibility. We dig into how mental health influences outcomes on both sides: autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder, dissociative identity disorder, and personality patterns in complainants; plus the charged terrain of paraphilic disorders like pedophilia and hebephilia. You’ll hear how experts shape juror perception, why cross-exam must be grounded in research, and how to dismantle overbroad “symptoms of trauma” claims without minimizing real harm.We also confront the human cost. Ryan shares protocols to avoid secondary trauma, the emotional balance between client advocacy and compassion, and the harsh realities of pretrial detention, public stigma, and re-traumatization for complainants. Expect practical guidance too: what to do if you or a loved one is accused, red flags for false memory and coaching, and risk management for teachers, coaches, and therapists. We close by pointing to reforms that could speed cases and improve fairness: complete investigations before charging, and tighten admissibility for psychological testimony to keep speculative science out of the courtroom.This episode is brought to you by Top Attorneys Of North America. https://topattorneys.us/ To learn more about Ryan Fremont:1.  www.FremuthLawFirm.com2.
