At a preliminary hearing Monday before the judge who first heard the case, Charlie's parents, Chris Gard and Connie Yates, were given two days to submit new written evidence regarding the viability of having Charlie treated abroad with experimental nucleoside therapy. Charlie's parents have said there is new evidence to consider but have not yet said what it is. A family photo shows Connie Yates and Chris Gard with their son, Charlie Gard. The judge, Mr Justice Nicholas Francis, instructed Charlie's parents Monday to cite the source of all evidence, when it was produced and what difference it would make for their son. Depending on that evidence, he may then reconsider his previous ruling that further treatment would be futile.
