In the same year, the Law Commission of England and Wales released a Consultation Paper, proposing that England and Wales should effectively embrace the approach to expertise associated with Daubert, guiding the US Federal Courts and many state courts (though criticised by the NRC). In 2011 the Law Commission formally recommended a reliability standard in a draft bill. In Australia, courts and reformers have done little in response to problems of reliability and the serious criticisms identified by the NRC have been muted. This essay aims to explain how notions of rectitude, practical authority, fair trial rights, and so called fundamental principles of evidence law (e.g. the presumption of innocence, the right to examine witnesses, the allocation of burdens and standards of proof, the premium placed on liberty and not convicting the innocent) can help us to reconsider legal approaches to the admission and use of expert evidence in adversarial criminal proceedings in response to emerging and institutionally unsettling empirical evidence.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/45073947" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="bf6da987a8c13204aa7426f1992a3302" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":65630887,"asset_id":45073947,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/65630887/download_file?st=MTczMzAyNzM3Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="38143545" href="https://unimelb.academia.edu/AndrewRoberts">Andrew Roberts</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="38143545" type="text/json">{"id":38143545,"first_name":"Andrew","last_name":"Roberts","domain_name":"unimelb","page_name":"AndrewRoberts","display_name":"Andrew Roberts","profile_url":"https://unimelb.academia.edu/AndrewRoberts?f_ri=738146","photo":"/images/s65_no_pic.png"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_45073947 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="45073947"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 45073947, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_45073947", });

Juror assessment of such evidence and the efficacy of evidentiary instructions were examined through a mock jury experiment with case reports featuring either central or peripheral feature-comparison evidence. In a case-control design (N ¼ 174), the test group was exposed to an evidentiary instruction about the ear print evidence presented in the first case report (adapted from R v Dallagher [2002] EWCA Crim 1903) whereas the control group did not receive such an instruction. The provision of this instruction resulted in a significant decrease in verdict severity with a large effect size. For the second case report (based on R v George (Barry) [2007] EWCA Crim 2722), all subjects were asked to return verdicts based on circumstantial evidence , gunpowder residue evidence and an evidentiary instruction about that gunpowder residue evidence. Verdict severity increased significantly after the provision of gunpowder residue evidence, followed by a subsequent reduction in verdict severity after the introduction of an evidentiary instruction. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in verdict severity between the test and control group, suggesting that the test group exhibited a scepticism effect brought about by the initial evidentiary instruction about ear print evidence. This study demonstrates that although mock jurors consider feature-comparison evidence a convincing indicator of guilt, the provision of an evidentiary instruction has the potential to educate jurors about the limitations of such evidence.</div></div></div><ul class="InlineList u-ph0x u-fs13"><li class="InlineList-item logged_in_only"><div class="share_on_academia_work_button"><a class="academia_share Button Button--inverseBlue Button--sm js-bookmark-button" data-academia-share="Work/43801431" data-share-source="work_strip" data-spinner="small_white_hide_contents"><i class="fa fa-plus"></i><span class="work-strip-link-text u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Bookmark</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><div class="download"><a id="603dd1de2cee397c261997a890c625ca" rel="nofollow" data-download="{"attachment_id":64118738,"asset_id":43801431,"asset_type":"Work","always_allow_download":false,"track":null,"button_location":"work_strip","source":null,"hide_modal":null}" class="Button Button--sm Button--inverseGreen js-download-button prompt_button doc_download" href="https://www.academia.edu/attachments/64118738/download_file?st=MTczMzAyNzM3Miw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&s=work_strip"><i class="fa fa-arrow-circle-o-down fa-lg"></i><span class="u-textUppercase u-ml1x" data-content="button_text">Download</span></a></div></li><li class="InlineList-item"><ul class="InlineList InlineList--bordered u-ph0x"><li class="InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered"><span class="InlineList-item-text">by <span itemscope="itemscope" itemprop="author" itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a class="u-tcGrayDark u-fw700" data-has-card-for-user="165681887" href="https://port.academia.edu/EvaRibbers">Eva Ribbers</a><script data-card-contents-for-user="165681887" type="text/json">{"id":165681887,"first_name":"Eva","last_name":"Ribbers","domain_name":"port","page_name":"EvaRibbers","display_name":"Eva Ribbers","profile_url":"https://port.academia.edu/EvaRibbers?f_ri=738146","photo":"https://0.academia-photos.com/165681887/46488748/35907336/s65_eva.ribbers.jpg"}</script></span></span></li><li class="js-paper-rank-work_43801431 InlineList-item InlineList-item--bordered hidden"><span class="js-paper-rank-view hidden u-tcGrayDark" data-paper-rank-work-id="43801431"><i class="u-m1x fa fa-bar-chart"></i><strong class="js-paper-rank"></strong></span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 43801431, container: ".js-paper-rank-work_43801431", });
