You the jury – Is this case a prosecutor fallacy or not?
In this event, Nigel Marriott (CStat MAE) will give an interactive talk on the Prosecutor’s Fallacy. He will describe a case he has worked on as a statistical expert and the audience will have the chance to vote on the likelihood of guilt as each piece of evidence is described. He will also discuss the Sally Clark case and why he thinks statisticians have drawn the wrong lesson from this case.
Monday 20th October 2025, 17:00–19:00 BST
This event is organized by the Royal Statistical Society Statistics and the Law Section and by the Royal Statistical Society West Midlands Local Group.
