The use of Bayesian approach in forensic science requires the evaluation of the likelihood ratio related to the crime scene evidence event E and the suspect characteristic event C. This evaluation fails when the two events are disjoint, i.e. the evidence E is not compatible with the characteristic C of the suspect, and then the case-work has a negative conclusion. This situation is very common, es...
