The very scary thing is that she's also provided 'expert' opinion in US cases. I hope to goodness that this lady hasn't helped prevent survivors having justice or compensation. And the consequences if her report, based on a fantasy understanding of JWs, had been accepted as accurate would have been to totally airbrush the problems within the cult. I mean, good on her conscience/professionalism kicking in at the last minute under close scrutiny, but it does make me very cross that she could be so, well, incompetent in her research and understanding of a religion and still take the stand as an 'expert'.

i'm sure this guy will be able to tell the rc how things work behind the scenes without all the evasiveness, being that he is an "apostate".

She's now testifying against them! Brilliant.
You actually saw the moment when the realisation hit her that she'd not come close to understanding what was happening.
To quote the commissioner. "I don't know what we're going to do about it. But there's a problem [with JWs' conducting their own investigations into abuse]"

Problem is she has absolutely no concept of how the literature is interpreted, or works when applied, and that's why her opinion is close to worthless. She isn't aware of the weasel wording, the caveats, the hints which 'the faithful' are tuned into. Stewart and McClellan are. -

He's destroying any claim they have that they can use confessional privilege. Through their own expert witness. -

Oh crikey. She's not waving, she's drowning. [For those not watching - they're reviewing a British judge refusing to accept her 'expert' opinion in a British case] -

She's having her reputation as an 'expert witness' absolutely trashed, at least in terms as I understand them (I believe the US has different views on what an expert witness should be). -
