More about the book
Focusing on the pursuit of truth in criminal trials, the book critiques current rules of evidence and procedure that hinder this objective. Larry Laudan systematically analyzes the mechanisms of error distribution, including standards of proof and the presumption of innocence, to highlight how these elements reflect society's views on trial errors. By addressing these fundamental issues, the work aims to propose a framework that aligns the criminal justice system more closely with its purported goal of truth-seeking.
