Reply to Morrison et al. (2016) Refining the relevant population in forensic voice comparison – A response to Hicks et alii (2015) The importance of distinguishing information from evidence/observations when formulating propositions

In their letter to the Editor, Morrison et al. [1] react to our paper [2] on the importance of distinguishing information from evidence when formulating propositions. We wish to thank the authors for this discussion, as it is essential for readers to understand that our paper [2] is not meant to be prescriptive. The aim of our article is to underline the importance of taking sufficient time to define precisely what is the evidence the forensic scientist is asked to assess and what are the information and the propositions, the latter being assessed by the Court.
