So they pick the ones that are, of course, the ones that you have a major felony exposure to, those are the ones you're gonna fight more.
And so I understand that, and that's where you're gonna see it.
And imagine you're a defense attorney.
If you don't find a defense witness somewhere,
to testify that it's not shaken baby or something like that, they're going to hit you for inadequate defense.
And so you've got to drum up somebody.
And the legal system keeps that alive.
And it's the artifact, if you will, of the legal system that they do such things as opposed to saying, well, gosh, I guess we can roll over because all these medical people say this is what it is.
But I assure you in medical schools around the country, we're teaching about that, about the shaken baby stuff.
And we're teaching about the Munchausen by proxy stuff.
And there's not a big counter stuff in the medical schools going on in the United States.
that I'm aware of and I don't believe exists.
So this stuff is pretty well accepted and everything.
And we even have some studies, particularly with the abusive head trauma, shaken baby stuff.
We have studies that the acceptance is really high.
But that doesn't mean they're not going to argue the case or they'll say, well, this is the exception in court.
And if they've got a case for it, go for it.
I mean, I don't have a problem with that.
But, you know, a lot of these things we would work out before it ever got to a court.
Court is not the discovery stuff.
