You should have done the prosecution’s closing. Your post would have illustrated for these fools why their doubts weren’t reasonable.
“You should have done the prosecution’s closing.”
It’s not just jurors that don’t understand mathematical odds. It’s prosecutors too. And a lot of otherwise intelligent people.
For example, I always suspected Sean Hannity was the most intellectually challenged conservative talk-show host. Tonight he confirmed it in my mind.
And thanks, but my experience is that even explaining things as simply as possible only changes a very small percentage of minds.
Yes, the prosecutors could have done a better job, but it probably wouldn’t have mattered.
