Reasonable Doubt Dr. DeFrancis said it is almost impossible to prosec ite a parent who abuses his chileasonable dren because doubt is difficult to prove in an adversary case A gunshot wound is a gun- shot wound, but a battered child has repeated only injuries in the eyes of an expert witness, he said.
