Well then it means statistically there's a good chance that what produced the end low res image is incriminating. And of course I'm not serious.

Although on a serious note, does anyone know if and how statistical probability is accepted as evidence in a court of law?

Yeah, it is, that's called circumstantial evidence. You do need direct evidence to validate the circumstantial evidence though..
