The colleague said in a sworn affidavit that he "would testify that there is no definitive cause of death" if there were a new trial.
"Knox voluntarily left her $204,000-a-year position as an instructor and physician at the UW-affiliated children’s hospital in October."

The bigger issue is that even if we assume good motives of the researchers, the study doesn't even support Bartholet's claim about homeschool families
The sample only included 28 hand-picked cases of abuse.
Bartholet irresponsibly generalized extreme outliers to the population.
