I agree with the author that Bayes' rule was not applied in this case, but I don't see why, in principle, a likelihood ratio couldn't be presented to the jury and weighed by them in combination with other evidence.

Weird, that's the second HN post in a week that included the Radio Yerevan story. What's the likelihood and our posterior probability of that?
