Do Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence?

[RoadRunner79]

You mean, everyone says you did it, but somehow the fingerprints aren't on the chair?  Sounds like a lynching to me. -and yeah, if they wanted to make the case stick, they;d get a lab to conform that your paws were on the chair. I do think it;s amusing, though, how often the courthouse thing comes up, which isn't even remotely the standard of evidence we're discussing....but particularly since eyewitness testimony is demonstrably unreliable and recognized as such. Yes, it;s your story against theirs...and if that's all it is, you'd have a pretty good chance of getting off scott free.

Happens all the time.

I sat in a few different chairs, other people did as well. Fingerprints and DNA are on a number of them. But other than an attempt to dodge the issue... thanks for your thoughts.... it's interesting, if that is what you really believe.
