Depends on prior convictions. 75% if it's repeated behavior
Subject to a few exceptions, prior convictions are inadmissible in a criminal trial.

I use to cover courts for a newspaper I worked for.
I pretty much never saw anyone who actually went to trial not be found guilty. There was probably 15-20 times where I sat there and told myself that there is no way this is 100% without a doubt a crime committed by this person and then the jury takes 10 minutes and comes back and finds them guilty.
Granted, this is Texas lol, so you don't get much of the benefit of the doubt here.
That's scary...
But seriously, you never know when something will happen and somehow you (in general) are connected to it (even if you didn't want to be) and then somehow you become a suspect... next thing you know, you are sitting in court with the rest of your life coming down to what 12 people, who probably don't want to be there in the first place, thinks.

If you're 99.9% sure the person's guilty, would this meet beyond a reasonable doubt to you?
Yes. If you had any reasonable doubt, you wouldn't be 99.9% sure. I'm sure that threshold is different for everyone. For me, there would have to be unresolved ambiguity about a crucial issue in the case. Unresolved ancillary or circumstantial evidence don't create reasonable doubt for me.
Like in the OJ case. I wouldn't give a shite that the gloves don't fit. That was theatre, unless you can find a new pair of those gloves in the same size that wouldn't go on his hand, without the rubber gloves.

So if it's a pretty women you know to acquit?
If it has nice tits, you must acquit?

What if the defendant who's a beautiful women is actually a biologically male transgender?
Not guilty for reasons of insanity
