Jury Service... (54)
jac_the_gripper: If you were 80% positive that someone had committed a murder and only 20% not sure that he did, would you send him to prison based on that percentage?
What percentage would you need to be satisfied that someone was guilty beyond reasonable doubt?
What percentage would you need to be satisfied that someone was guilty beyond reasonable doubt?

I honestly don't know
it is supposed to be beyond reasonable doubt.
If there was evidence to support the 80%, then I would have to go on my gut feeling for the other 20%.

What would your gut feeling be based upon, Molly?

What would you do
If you were 80% positive that someone was going to commit murder and only 20% not sure if he would.
Would you send him to prison, based on the fact that he had not committed murder YET but there was an 80% chance that he would?

I don't think gut instinct comes into play, when someone's freedom is at risk.
It has to be proved beyond reasonable doubt, based on facts or there will be a "hung jury", which in most cases , means an acquittal!

No, I would not send him or her to prison then. I had to be 100% sure. There are so many humans involved in presenting and discussing such a crime in the court. I had to be totally sure that I am right with my judgement.

One2note: Based on facts.
I know that, but my point is, what percentage is 'beyond reasonable doubt' ?
100% is certain
50 % could go either way
Is 80% beyond reasonable doubt?

Yes, I know it's very similar to that thread.
It's also very different.
I've been trying to think of a way to explore this question for some time. I was all set to respond to Frisky's thread with it and it occurred to me it might derail it unfairly.
It then occurred to me, running them concurrently might lead to some interesting contrasts and comparisons.

Beyond reasonable doubt means 100%, nothing less.
Remember the Guildford four?
There was reasonable doubt, but because emotions were running high, they were wrongly imprisoned .

Well in that case Jac would let her off, regardless of the evidence against her...I see a not guilty verdict------ This thread is Archived ------

Of course I remember the Guilford 4, and the Bermingham 6 as well, as well as other individuals who were wrongly accused.
That is why I am trying to figure out, can you ever be 100% certain, unless you saw the crime with your own eyes

You can never be 100% certain, but with modern technology & forensic evidence so advanced, it does make things a lot more easier, as a pose to guesswork.
