How can one be an impartial trier of fact and also be getting grief counselling mid-way through the hearing where you are supposed to only decide if anything bad actually happened after hearing all of the evidence from both sides?
Are you deciding whether something bad happened or deciding whether this individual is responsible though? Not really the same question it would seem.
