Amazing
I am so happy and that ‘Dan’ was found not guilty! So overjoyed for the whole family! What a disgrace that it even happened! What a very sad story but the happiest of endings! Great listen.
Heart wrenching, objective, insightful, thorough. Well done production team.
I’d give it more than 5 stars if I could.

The prosecution experts seemed remarkably certain about things that are inherently uncertain. Bone weakness doesn’t suddenly appear when a radiologist can finally see rickets. Bone strength exists on a sliding scale, and there is a continuum between completely normal bone and radiologically obvious rickets. If expert testimony ignores such an obvious biological reality, then I think it’s fair to question how expert that testimony really is.
