0:04.0	Welcome back to a new episode from our latest segment Bad Facts, which is where we talk about all of the things that could potentially hurt the case from one perspective or another in different cases.
0:19.6	So when a lawyer talks about bad facts, that's stuff that's inconvenient, that's stuff that does not help their case.
0:26.2	So we're going to be doing that for different cases that we cover.
