The Drunkards Walk talks about the misuse of statistics in court as well. Not only do they get the math wrong easily, or make common mistakes ("the odds that it's raining given the ground is wet, is the same as the odds that the ground is wet given it's raining"), but if someone accurately states there is only a 1 in 100,000 chance of something happening by chance, the jury will think that means the "something" was not by chance, instead of "oh, so it happens by chance to thousands and thousands of people" like they should.
