Discussion:** * The defendant does not contest that Dr. Rocchio is a qualified expert. Nor could she: Dr. Rocchio is a leader in her field, teaching others as a professor at Brown University, and she has approximately twenty-five years of clinical experience. She is testifying in general about core concepts in her field, based on her "extensive study of the relevant data and literature and her clinical experience treating hundreds of trauma and abuse patients over the past twenty years." **Footer:** * DOJ-OGR-00006718 This page appears to be part of a larger document, likely a court transcript or legal brief, discussing the admissibility of expert testimony in a case involving human trafficking and prostitution.
