We study the criminal court process focusing on the interaction between plea bargaining and jury trials. We model plea bargaining such that a prosecutor makes a takeit-or-leave-it offer and a defendant, who is either guilty or innocent, pleads either guilty or not guilty. If the defendant pleads not guilty, the case goes to a jury trial, which follows a strategic voting model. Plea bargaining p...

Digital forensics investigations aim to find evidence that helps confirm or disprove a hypothesis about an alleged computer-based crime. However, the ease with which computer-literate criminals can falsify computer event logs makes the prosecutor’s job highly challenging. Given a log which is suspected to have been falsified or tampered with, a prosecutor is obliged to provide a convincing expl...

One has to recognise that if a prosecutor were required to prove on evidence that a defendant has secreted assets from the view of the court the confiscation regime would be least effective in those cases to which it is particularly targeted; confiscation orders would be lowest in the cases of those high-level criminals who have sufficiently substantial assets to justify the cost and risk of us...

In November 1994 the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), indicted its first accused, Dragan Nikolić. It was not until over five years later, however, in April 2000, that he was finally arrested and transferred to TheHague. The circumstances of his arrest – which reportedly featured his being violently abducted from his home in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FR...

Defining the relevant population to sample is an important issue in data-based implementation of the likelihood-ratio framework for forensic voice comparison. We present a logical argument that because an investigator or prosecutor only submits suspect and offender recordings for forensic analysis if they sound sufficiently similar to each other, the appropriate defense hypothesis for the foren...
