+Validator: Ensure that every case-law citation in an LLM output corresponds to a real case in the
+provided case metadata database.
+
+Process:
+1. Extract citations from LLM output using citeurl.
+2. Map citation objects to URLs.
+3a. For each case.law URL:
+    - Fetch JSON metadata.
+    - Compare its case ID against the known database.
+3b. For each non case.law URL:
+    - Run the original text through eyecite to extract volume, reporter, and page.
+    - Check if any cases in the database match based on this information.
+4. If any citation fails, return ValidationResult(False).
+5. If all succeed, return ValidationResult(True).
