Missing survey data are difficult to present in court. This paper reflects testimony prepared and given by the authors in a case alleging that the New Jersey State Police were differentially stopping and arresting blacks at the southern end of the New Jersey turnpike. A Bayesian technique with informative priors is used to examine the sensitivity of the inference to the missing data.
