Abstract

According to Allen and Pardo, ‘relative plausibility’ is the best explanation of judicial proof; and the process to identify a best explanation would be, in short, holistic and comparative. My work is a plea for clarification of some items that would constitute their theory, before I (or anyone) give a holistic explanation of them and compare their account with alternatives. I raise three issues: the epistemological relevance of the empirical data used, the kind of holism argued and the fact-finder’s cognitive capacities role in their account.
