Responses to giving evidence

292D Responses to giving evidence

Direction--

(a) trauma may affect people differently, which means that some people may show obvious signs of emotion or distress when giving evidence in court about an alleged sexual offence, but others may not, and
(b) the presence or absence of emotion or distress does not necessarily mean that a person is not telling the truth about an alleged sexual offence.
