Not sure if it is on topic, but I use to help a friend of mine in a basic statistics course. Current topic is hypothesis testing and confidence intervals. I remember that I saw a good example that might illustrate the concepts, however I cannot find it on the Internet. It is about a judge who incorrectly interpreted statistics in his judgment and falsely accused a person. Unfortunately, this is all information that I remember. Many thanks.
