Classical legal probabilism (CLP) adds that the conviction is justified if the credence in guilt given the evidence is above an appropriate guilt probability threshold. The views are challenged on various counts, es...

While finite cop-win finite graphs possess a good structural characterization, none is known for infinite cop-win graphs. As evidence that such a characterization might not exist, we provide as large as possible classes of infinite graphs with finite cop number. More precisely, for each infinite cardinal and each positive integer k, we construct 2 non-isomorphic k-cop-win graphs satisfying addi...
