• Resumen

  • Jasmine Gonzales Rose, Rachel Herdy, Tareeq Jalloh and Abenaa Owusu-Bempah have each written a paper commenting on my essay «Evidential Reasoning, Testimonial Injustice and the Fairness of the Criminal Trial», which appeared in Quaestio Facti in 2024. In this reply I engage with their insightful works. I discuss the advantages of framing in terms of «contributory injustice» the scenarios analysed in my original essay. I briefly study the conditions for the existence of a correlation between credibility excess and credibility deficit. And I provide the sketch of a theory of trial fairness, which I am currently developing elsewhere.
