Abstract
Problematic legal cases have recently called for a scientifically founded method of dealing with the qualitative and quantitative roles of evidence in a case [1].To deal with quantitative, we proposed a d-separation method for modeling the crime events. A d-separation is a graphical criterion for identifying independence in a directed acyclic graph. By developing a d-separation method, we aim to lay the foundations for the development of a software support tool that can deal with the evidential reasoning in legal cases. Such a tool is meant to be used by a judge or juror, in alliance with various experts who can provide information about the details. This will hopefully improve the communication between judges or jurors and experts. The proposed method used to uncover more valid independencies than any other graphical criterion.
