Abstract

In this paper, we characterize a Wigmore Diagram as an information-flow network. A fuzzy approach to weighing the strength of the evidence is defined and compared to the well-known probabilistic approach. This enables an intelligent computer evaluation of the evidence, in order to support a practicing lawyer.
