Quote:I attempt to hammer home, relentlessly, that the jury's job has very little to do with the concept of "innocence." Its job is not a bipolar one of convicting the guilty and vindicating the innocent. It is one of analyzing what evidence the state has presented and determining whether it is enough to satisfy the jury that there is no reason to doubt the defendant's guilt.
Yes, and what the jury decides is immaterial to actual guilt or innocence. Just like the truth exists no matter what we think or believe we "prove."
