Re: [Stop-traffic] Expert witnesses in courtHI,
for example in Germany in the last years since mid 90ties.
The witnesses are assistet by councelling centres and shelters (NGO). =
They have lawyers and witness protection by criminal police if =
necessary.
The best and often needed assistance is traumata therapy, often a =
problem to get it financed.
