Depositions can be intimidating for grown individuals let alone a young teenager. Lawyers can use this factor to lead people into answering questions falsely (aka lead questioning).

I would like to know how the RIAA lawyers received the testimony of this young girl and whether she had council present. Was it through the use of interrogatories and depositions or was it in another manner prescribed by law?

I have a real disdain for attorneys who use intimidation to manipulate the testimonies of teenagers. If this is true and the lawyers for the RIAA used intimidating factors for manipulating this teenager, I hope the bar association gets involved and revokes there license.
