C2, being a registered international legal authority, I can say for certain that it would be very easy to prove that cellphones cause brain cancer, and more to the point, caused the particular cancer that any particular individual is suffering. One would just need their cellphone account, a few witnesses, medical documentation and a rhyme such as "If it doesn't fit, you must acquit". It would be worth getting some experts to talk about probabilistic linear regression analysis and throw in some medical jargon, to confuse the jury completely and make them judge the case on "common sense". But actual scientific proof wouldn't be too hard either. The big advantage in such a study is that 75% of people hold cellphones on their right ear, or, more precisely, 75% of the time that cellphones are used, people are holding them on their right ear. Because absorption of the radiation is easily measured across brains, or near-enough models of them anyway, it would be a fairly simple matter of counting tumours and their locations. They will form a pattern matching the radiation intensity, with a noisy background of data due to other causes. Just as the whizzes at Qualcomm were able to separate the bits in the radiation which are voice intended for a particular ear, it would be a simple matter for such whizzes to separate the noise from other causes of cancer from that caused by the cell-phone radiation. Not all parts of brains would be equally prone to particular forms of cancer, but for each variety of cell, there would be a common response rate. A test would be something like a popcorn test = fill a head with popcorn then put a strong microwave source tuned perfectly to the popcorn kernels by one ear. As the popcorn popped, you would see a distribution pattern throughout the popcorn brain. The popcorn getting LOTS of radiation would pop first. That on the other side of the head would pop last.
