a symptom of DI?

I would have missed it if you had not mentioned it. Here's a link for non-UK and anyone else who missed the story:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/hereford/worcs/4481876.stm

Apparently it was a BBC Radio4 programme that dug up the water on the brain connection.

Have to admit it seemed the oddest method of murder/abuse that I had heard of at the time.

sounds like the prosecution screwed up.  and someone needs to look
into them for misconduct.

it would not be the first time.


Brings back memories of expert witnesses and the cot death "murders".

Google or search news.bbc.co.uk for Professor Roy Meadow for more info, non UK bods.
