Were they asking for it to be inadmissible? My take was the RSS are implying the court allowed the jury to be misled as to its significance by not having a statistician on hand to explain it. It’s almost an exact replay of what happened in the Lucia De Berk case, later overturned and since described as “the greatest miscarriage of justice” in the Netherlands. Worth a read if you’re interested.
