Hi Brendan,

In the UK criminal charges have to be proved "beyond reasonable doubt".  Civil cases rest on "the balance of probability".

So it sounds like (a) Steve did indeed do his job as a juror, and (b) the judge did explain it.

I'm not taking the piss, but is that HONESTLY what you believe your job as
a juror is? A good lawyer can create an element of doubt about practically
anything, it's about weighing the evidence and making a judgement based on
the weight of probability. As such even circumstantial evidence can result
in convictions, in criminal and civil cases, if it's strong enough etc.
You can't see a single crack in a case and instantly make up your mind
that there's doubt so can be no conviction? Didn't the judge explain your
role as a juror?
