  • For example, if a perpetrator is known to have the same blood type as a defendant (and 10% of the population share that blood type), to argue solely on that basis that the probability of the defendant being guilty is 90% makes the prosecutors's fallacy (in a very simple form).

  • Denial:"The perpetrators... deny that they committed any crimes...""
