- Title
The Incompatibility of Due Process and Naked Statistical Evidence.
- Authors
Nunn, G. Alexander
- Abstract
The article discusses what the author refers to as the incompatibility of due process and naked statistical evidence (probabilistic evidence) in America's trial system as of 2015, and it mentions U.S. constitutional law, fairness, and philosopher L. Jonathan Cohen's Gatecrasher's Paradox which deals with the use of probabilistic evidence to impose liability. U.S. rules of evidence and issues involving burden of proof are examined, along with verdicts and the concept of factual impossibility.
