Substantial Evidence vs. TRUTH?
In Project: Brainiacs

The Pitkin, Colorado Fourth of July parade includes an emphasis on helmets and independence at the historic Pitkin Hotel.

Paula uses Miranda's birthday presents and Christmas packages to explain why the "substantial evidence" in C.R.S. 8-43-308 is a loophole to discriminate against injured workers with traumatic brain injuries. "Substantial evidence" can sometimes not rise to the standard of proof of seeking the TRUTH, as required in the Colorado Rules of Evidence.

Also, the false statement statute in C.R.S. 8-43-402 for lying on the stand under oath is supposed to apply to "anyone." But Paula has just learned that the lying witnesses and lying "IME" doctor and lying attorneys and lying judges of the Colorado Worker's Compensation courts get "governmental immunity" in Briscoe v. LaHue. So Paula reads some of the comments of the dissenting U.S. Supreme Court Justice Marshall when he objects that this immunity is contrary to due process constitutional rights guaranteed by the FEDERAL CONSTITUTION and Bill of Rights.

Pinnacol Assurance's board is funky, with the CEO automatically having a seat on the Colorado Worker's Compensation Division COST CONTAINMENT BOARD, which Paula objects to because all seats are SPECIAL INTEREST GROUPS all being representatives of the defense without being elected by the public, without having any representatives of the public or the injured worker or disabled people or any other group besides employers and insurance companies.
