I did jury service last year and the bloke was bang to rights but got off.I did jury duty a few years ago, IIRC, all we were asked to judge was whether the prosecution proved beyond doubt that the person was guilty beyond reasonable doubt. If in any doubt, the verdict should be not guilty.
I realised just how hard it can be prove something in court beyond doubt. Also difficult to prove that you're innocent beyond doubt.
So if he's found not guilty doesn't mean he didn't do it, but equally doesn't mean that he has any way prove his innocence.
Should he be treated as a criminal even after winning the case?
The funniest thing was he denied owning a distinctive coat and his brother gave evidence wearing the identical coat.
