And I've seen affidavits that rival some of the finest fairy tales. Heard sworn testimony that was proven to be patently false. You know: "My son couldn't have committed the crime. He was with me all night," when sonny boy was out murdering or raping someone (and sometimes both).
That's why I'm skeptical of basing a decision on the contents of an affidavit.
What is the motive for three nurses to offer this kind of sworn statement? They have nothing to gain.
Interesting example. The motive for lting appears to be plainly obvious in that case.
