"Erra inoltre il procuratore allorchè, nel contestare le valutazioni del GUP, pretendono di dimostrare la colpevolezza di XXX sulla base, non di elementi concreti, bensi' di ***massime d'esperienza*** che si ancorano a prassi mutevoli ed imprevedibili."

empirical generalisations drawn from experience
Explanation:
"Judicial notice" refers to the power that the court has to introduce "massime di esperienze" or well-known facts into evidence, whereas "massime di esperienze" means, more precisely, "empirical generalisations drawn from experience".

It is a bit cumbersome, hence the medium level of confidence - maybe someone else can suggest an alternative?

This is clearly right although the "drawn from experience" is possibly tautological?
