Re: Back To The Shoe Argument
It seems to me that the rarer the shoe size, the greater the likelihood that it belongs to the accused. Therefore, if only 1% of the population has a EEEE shoe, a EEEE shoe print was found at the murder scene, the defendant is a possible suspect to have been at the murder scene, AND... The defendant has a EEEE shoe size.... If I'm on the jury, I say it is more likely for this shoe print to belong to the nurderer (since you stated it's definitely the murderer's shoe print), than any other random person with a EEEE shoe.
