How certain would you have to be to convict?

If you're 99.9% sure the person's guilty, would this meet beyond a reasonable doubt to you?
What about 99%? 96%?

Why wouldn't it?
I'd assume anything that would fall in that 0.1% isn't particularly reasonable.

Yes

That'll work for a civil jury trial but not criminal justice
You have to be as close to 100% in those cases. 99.999% would mean the only other explanation to who committed the crime would be that aliens from the planet Xenon descended to NBR and planted that weed on ole homeboy.

Depends on prior convictions. 75% if it's repeated behavior

Would be hilarious if you're asking this from a deliberation room right now.

I'm not. In fact I've never even served on a jury before.

i know by looking at them if they're guilty.

If he's a Florida fan, he's definitely guilty.

So if it's a pretty women you know to acquit?

of course

If it were a criminal trial and I had any doubt about the defendant's guilt, then I could not cast a guilty verdict in good conscience.

What if the defendant who's a beautiful women is actually a biologically male transgender?

pretty sure they take phones away before the jury goes in

very circumstance dependent, but i would have to be at least 98% sure and even that's maybe a lit low.

Depends on the race of the suspect.
