Sumario:Under the holistic approach to the assessment of testimony (HELPT), this paper describes a protocol for the analysis of all of the information that can be extracted from a judicial file, regarding the knowledge of heuristic principles and psychology of testimony. The aim is to provide a systematization for expert reports about the topics that could be explored in a file, extracting the maximum unbiased information to establish the relevant hypotheses of the case and evaluate possible factors of influence.
