“…Concern has been expressed regarding the presentation of complex scientific testimony (see, e.g., Cooper, Bennett, & Sukel, 1996) and statistical evidence to juries because such scientific evidence ostensibly would have an exaggerated impact (see, e.g., State v. Boyd, 1983, in which the court barred presentation of population frequency statistics used to analyze blood test results because it anticipated the potential for the jury to be unduly influenced and thus cause unfair prejudice against the defendant). Alternatively, empirical evidence demonstrating systematic biases in human decision-making has suggested that jurors may be more likely to undervalue, rather than attach exaggerated value to, statistical data (Saks & Kidd, 1980). More recently, Smith, Penrod, Otto, and Park (1996) demonstrated that mock jurors generally tended to underuse, rather than overuse, probabilistic evidence.…”
