In his argument to the jury he invited the jurors to apply their own factors, and asked defense counsel to suggest what the latter would deem as reasonable. The prosecutor himself proposed the individual <strong>probabilities<\/strong> set out in the table below. Although the transcript of the examination of the mathematics instructor and the information volunteered by the prosecutor at that time create some uncertainty as to precisely which of the characteristics the prosecutor assigned to the individual <strong>probabilities<\/strong>, he restated in his argument to the jury that they should be as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<table class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Characteristic<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Individual Probability<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>A.<\/td>\n<td>Partly <strong>yellow<\/strong> automobile<\/td>\n<td>1\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>B.<\/td>\n<td>Man with mustache<\/td>\n<td>1\/4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>C.<\/td>\n<td>Girl with ponytail<\/td>\n<td>1\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>D.<\/td>\n<td>Girl with blond hair<\/td>\n<td>1\/3<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>E.<\/td>\n<td>Negro man with <strong>beard<\/strong><\/td>\n<td>1\/10<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>F.<\/td>\n<td>Interracial couple in car<\/td>\n<td>1\/1000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/>People v.
