  From a related article on the case [1]: > Evans said the syndrome remains a fair medical diagnosis and also notes in the report that SBS was not the sole cause of child's death. There ought to be a law where lawyers deal with legal interpretations and advice and medical doctors deal with medical interpretation and advice. In a sane world, she'd be taken off the bench until she completes some remedial legal coursework and several dozen hours of medical talks from this century.
