Toxcio's experts, on the other hand, believe that evidence is incomplete and that further, costly studies need to be implemented to show the connection.

This is because even thoguh further research may need to be conducted (as per Toxico's scientists) to assess strength of the research, the evidence that exists at the moment seems to show an almost undisputed association between the children's cancer and the toxic emission.

In both cases, her testimony lies on popularly accepted, empirical, and reliable scientific evidence and measures.
These are the matrices requested by both state and federal court systems.

The biophysicists hired by Toxico, on the other hand, do not quote peer-reviewed acceptable scientific sources per se. Even though they are "learned and well-credentialed biophysicists" and their assumptions will, accordingly, be listened to a court of law, a the end of the day, their failure to produce popular and solidly acceptable scientific evidence to support their assumptions will not allow Toxico to win the case. Since deductions and inferences are listened to but not accepted as conclusive evidence, it seems to me that the families have high prospects of winning their civil suit and criminal prosecution against Toxico in both New York and federal courts.
