It also shows how the information generated by scientific research, as well as forensic evidence, can be twisted by the unscrupulous and the ignorant. Most disturbingly, it is another example of the farcical nature of the judicial process as currently practiced in the US (not to say we're the worst, just that it ought to be better).
No suprise to see Peter Breggin among the professional witnesses. They way this man profits from pseudoscience, post hoc fallacy, the frailty of the mentally ill, and the ignorance of the general public is disgusting. If there were such a thing as justice, he would have spent all his ill-gotten cash on legal bills attempting to defend himself from liability. And he would have lost.
