Go ahead and explain how this standard would be met.
If a prosecutor can show a defendant had mens rea to commit a crime, it shouldn't be a big burden to convince a jury that said prosecution benefits the public.
There's no shortage of people who get prosecuted on technicalities that serve no basis to public good. Or do you think all prosecutions are inherently benefitting society too?

Right. Restating the idea doesn’t answer my question.
How is that representation made? What are the elements the prosecution needs to show? What standard is the jury holding them to?

I’ve never said that once with regard to prosecutions. All I’m saying is that your idea sucks.
