The court proceedings on June 6, 2025, in the 187th District Court, presided over by Judge Stephanie Boyd, focused on the forensic interview of a child in the case of State vs. Rodriguez. Key discussions revolved around the emotional state and behavior of the child during the interview process.

During the testimony, a forensic interviewer explained the protocol of stepping out of the interview room to consult with investigators. This practice is intended to ensure that all necessary information is gathered. The interviewer noted that while alone, the child exhibited signs of distress, breaking down and crying. Such reactions were described as typical for potential victims in similar situations.

The interviewer also addressed concerns about whether the child felt forced to participate in the interview or was under any external pressure, confirming that there were no indications of such coercion. Observations of the child's demeanor throughout the interview revealed signs of fear and tension. The child was noted to have crossed legs and fidgeted with her hands, behaviors that indicated discomfort during discussions of the alleged abuse.

The testimony highlighted the challenges faced by young victims in recounting traumatic experiences, emphasizing the importance of a sensitive approach during forensic interviews. The proceedings continue as the court seeks to understand the full context of the allegations against the defendant.
