Thank you Heli!!

[ATA]

WooooooooHooooooooo!!!!

[spngbobthebldr]

Thanks Heli.

Some of what Cassidy was saying sounded like "she has boo boos everywhere" and maybe "Daddy" once near the end. I didn't hear anything about juice like some CTV posters are claiming to have heard.

[Heli]

I found much of what Cassidy was saying to be inaudible.

As a professional Court transcriptionist in the past, it was
always protocol to NEVER guess at words. Best to insert
the (inaudible) notation than to guess, get it wrong and
potentially skew testimony or evidence.

I will listen to Cassie's words again later, but I just couldn't
be at all certain what she said, therefore I chose not to guess.

I heard what sounded like "Daddy" but given that what
came before and after was inaudible except for maybe the
word "everywhere" I would not put in the word "Daddy" for the
obvious reasons.

Audio enhancement would be needed before I'd ever insert
the word "Daddy" into that transcript. It's simply not clear
enough from that little girl's high pitched, childish voice.

Yep... I gave that tape a listen a few minutes ago, and there are parts in there where I could "hear" just about anything I was predisposed to hear.
