Yesh. The Abbott one my wife uses is nice but, yeah, every so often it is in a bad place and pops out or just doesn't synch or something. So far our insurer has been OK but she's had to fight with the pharmacy because she's the only one who gets a couple months of sensors at a time...

Wait, so he took his family to a restaurant a couple blocks away and they had to take the car to get there? In an obviously-walkable community? And his radio interview couldn't be by cell phone? I have questions...

What you are sort of hinting at is a special master who is kinda the judge's expert to give him as objective a read as possible. Expensive and who pays? And you still get warring experts coming from both sides at the master's report. It adds fog, not clarity, typically.

The reality is judges often are very experienced with litigation and they know we can find and qualify experts to provide testimony (within reason) that supports one theory, then the other side takes a shot with an expert and the judge is still stuck in the middle.

He's going to drag some poor schmucks from a concentration, I mean, detainment camp and kill them after throwing molotovs at an ICE building somewhere. If he doesn't, you know he's thought about it, proposed it.
