This is seismic news. It's hard to overstate how big the implications are for both future prosecutions and wrongful convictions. This NJ decision could reshape how courts across the country treat shaken-baby expert testimony.

👀👀👀 "Emails from UCLA’s fundraising department, obtained by FOIAball, show the school is steering money to the charity, with explicit notes that it be earmarked for football NIL."
The day Nico Iamaleava's NIL contract dispute broke, UCLA got $60,000 from donors.
But the school didn't have them send the money to its collective, Bruins for Life.
Instead, it had them give it to a local charity for at-risk youth.
Which is run by the founder of Bruins for Life.

How UCLA used a friendly charity to get tax-free NIL money
The school sent donors to a 501c3, but flagged the money for its football team.

ProPublica has found multiple cases of women with underlying health conditions who died when they couldn’t access abortions. Tierra Walker, a 37-year-old mother, was told by doctors there was no emergency before preeclampsia killed her.
