Ya but reasonable doubt sucks.

A few years ago i was charged with a serious assualt. At my bail hearing i was granted bail, the Judge cited"reasonble doubt" that i would not be a danger to the community while i was awaiting trial. a year later the crown stayed the charges against me citing"reasonable doubt"over there ability to convict me. Massagegirl,some times thats all there is,reasonable doubt.It worked for me,but i am not sure it,s always right.


my .2 cents.

The dissenting juror may very well be wrong, but if he or she truly had a doubt, based on reason and the evidence observed by him/her, and that doubt survived 4 and one-half days of being sequestered with eleven others who disagreed with him/her, then I applaud that person for having the courage to stand strong in his/her belief.

Agreed with most of your posts except the above.

Beliefs don't count for anything in the court of law. It is the evidence that counts and specifically how the jurors interpret that evidence.
