A biased prior may be quite rational. We should insist that jurors start from a statistically justifiable prior of guilt for cases taken to trial in each particular reference class (crime,race,sex,...)
If you're too unbiased, you're not rational.
There's a problem with choosing reference classes, though. Do you consider the person's name? The clothes they're wearing that day? The way they walk?
