Comments on Reasonable Doubt, Only Human Edition

from the state of florida jury instructions:

A reasonable doubt is not a mere possible doubt, a speculative, imaginary or forced doubt. Such a doubt must not influence you to return a verdict of not guilty if you have an abiding conviction of guilt. On the other hand, if, after carefully considering, comparing and weighing all the evidence, there is not an abiding conviction of guilt, or, if, having a conviction, it is one which is not stable but one which wavers and vacillates, then the charge is not proved beyond every reasonable doubt and you must find the defendant not guilty because the doubt is reasonable.

They apparently haven't heard of jury nullification. Basically, it doesn't matter what "reasonable doubt" is. The jury can decide what they want to decide, and that's it.

All I know is I smell Traitors, and Libby is just one of them.
