To clarify, I only said I didn't trust cops because we were asked a question about trusting authority figures and law enforcement and I answered honestly. I did not perjure!

First, let's understand that bayesian stats is the probability of measurable events, assuming a condition has occurred.

Now an example:

The facts: Your wife is murdered by a home intruder while you are on a lonely fishing trip. She just signed a primo life insurance plan.

You are completely innocent.

The investigation: The police are going by "logic" to make you their prime suspect. Here logic means, "the usual". Since a majority of murders are done by somone the victim knows, you are more likely the murderer (b. stats). Since she just signed a life insurance policy, you have more motive towards seeing here dead (b. stats, again) etc.

The case: The same exact evidence above is shown, asking jurors to hang on to "logic" since the probabilities all point to you being the murderer. However, note that we haven't concluded anything at all, execpt that statistically, you are the most likely to have done it, essentially the circular reasoning why you are on trial in the first place. Using the same logical reasoning for investigating you and convicting you does not address your role in the murder.

But that wasn't the case at all. The purpose of the testimony was to cast doubt on the reliability of the witness. That seems perfectly legitimate to me.

It's kinda random. I got 4 jury duty notices over 3 years, but since I was in college I just said that and they released me.

Golf lol

I got selected for jury duty earlier this year, for a felony case no less. It was an eye opening experience. If you're a good person who has a basic grasp of concepts like burden of proof, you should be honest and do your duty, because they need as many people like you as possible. If I ever find myself in trouble, I'm never going the trial by jury route if there's an alternative.

The stats and the mathematician role was to cast doubt on reliability - and Bayesian stats is essentially what people think of when they think of coming to "a logical conclusion". The fact of the matter is while probabilities are in play, there was a true color of the car, and just because the color can be defined by x% or 1 - x% doesnt change the truth of the matter. But that doubt on reliability is now in place, and thus the judge is right to toss out the case - the jury is (possibly) making a conviction by probabilities rather than by what is known (or missing) from the individual case.

Much akin to "Tom Brady probably cheated" You cant base your conviction on that.
