Don't get the wrong, I don't think its nice or fair or anything else, but AS PART OF THE JURY I want to be absolutely 100% sure of the decision I'm going to make. Sorry, I'm not going to say guilty unless everything points to yes.
But hey, where were people trying to do right thing 40 years ago when RAPE WAS IGNORED or OBVIOUSLY the woman/child was lying?

Where are the giants like Texas Instruments? Oh right, China.
You're not supposed to go onto a jury and vote with your feelings. If you do you
failed as a juror. "Oh well that defense attorney was mean, that means the defendant must be guilty".
