NIST researchers outline limits of likelihood ratios and the challenge of communicating uncertainty in forensic evidence NIST presenters described measurement variability across top laboratories, argued that experts can supply likelihood ratios but not jurors' prior odds, and called for demonstrable methods to communicate uncertainty so fact-finders can give appropriate weight to forensic findings.

NIST researchers reveal the troubling truth about how uncertainty in forensic evidence can sway court decisions and the challenges jurors face in weighing likelihood ratios without proper guidance.
