Sure there was no 100% match on the gun, but was the technology there to do that 20 years ago? I think some people fail to grasp the difference between "reasonable doubt" and "possibly true". Sure it was possible the moron has an evil twin who committed the crime, but is that reasonable?<BR/><BR/>I'm left wondering how long the crim went to jail for and if he was back in the courtroom not long after his release.Mooselethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16874418427786990740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1161184499787351772006-10-18T11:14:00.000-04:002006-10-18T11:14:00.000-04:00The only doubt I would have is how someone could b...The only doubt I would have is how someone could be so stupid.

Good lord, what a memory! I can ...Twenty years ago? Good lord, what a memory! I can barely remember what I had for breakfast this morning. Anyway: my (so far) only jury experience was a couple of years ago...from which I concluded that if I'm ever on a jury again, I'm volunteering to be foreman, if only so the deliberations don't get bogged down in inane, idiotic irrelevancies by people who don't seem to understand the most obvious aspects of the legal system (i.e., the ones painstakingly given to them by the judge at the beginning of the trial). Anyway: it certainly seems to me your jury reached the right decision. But it is amazing the things some jurors will think. A friend of mine was on a jury for a case involving a person who, clearly, was faking an injury after an accident to try and milk money from the situation. (I can't remember the specifics...only that in my friend's description of the facts as presented, it was pretty obviously not a genuine injury.) One or two jurors tried taking the line that, hey, yeah the person's faking it, but wouldn't you do the same if you could game the system and get some money, and so yeah, we should agree with the person and help her get money. As if "the system" were going to be the ones paying the person...as if that's a good reason to convict someone of a crime. Yeesh. I like the principle of a jury...but in practice, given media saturation and other factors, it seems increasingly difficult to come up with a viable one.2fshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813487704459856169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1161139435595817752006-10-17T22:43:00.000-04:002006-10-17T22:43:00.000-04:00you were quite thorough with your description of t...you were quite thorough with your description of the case. it didn't sound like there was much there to have reasonable doubt about. i think the reasonable doubt would have been the gun. it's not that i believed that it wasn't the perp's gun, but that it wasn't a total positive match to the gun used in the crime. however, a simple use of deductive reasoning states that if he's the guy who robbed the store, he's wearing the shirt he stol and he had a gun of the same calibre of the one used, it must be the gun used despite the lack of 100% identification.dykewifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17776768691386493709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11920826.post-1161124566575982692006-10-17T18:36:00.000-04:002006-10-17T18:36:00.000-04:00Wow.

What a fascinating read.<BR/><BR/>Recently there was an article in a popular news magazine stating that many jurists are demanding more and more forensic evidence in the courtroom due to the prevalence of television dramas like "CSI". Pop culture is leaking into the judicial system.<BR/><BR/>In this case, reasonable doubt for me would mean that the defendant was born without opposable thumbs, or something to that extreme. The evidence, based on your description, was adequate to come to a guilty verdict.<BR/><BR/>Now days they would test for gun shot residue or match the spent bullet to the gun barrel from the gun found on the perp.<BR/><BR/>Or is that just me CSI'ing?Jenninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903648446615137811noreply@blogger.com
