I agree.  In the spirit of that other article posted a few days ago (&quot;It&#x27;s better to let n guilty people go free than to imprison one innocent person&quot;), I&#x27;m of the opinion that the field of criminal justice needs a <i>huge</i> overhaul in terms of rigor.  We need professional statisticians working on cases that involve guilt and innocence.  We need to provide accurate probabilities to jurors.  We need replication and peer review of lab results.<p>As a society, we owe a fair and accurate trial to everyone, and if we have the technical resources to improve upon the existing process, then I think we have a moral obligation to do so.
