I believe Pr[evidence | innocence] is p-value (or maybe one minus p-value, not sure). Statisticians use this routinely to test "innocence". It does not mean probability of innocence, but it means something.

Yeah, it means the probability of the evidence given the person is innocent. If they use it for anything else they're using it wrongly and they shouldn't.
