Correct. I'm just saying that the argument of being 100% sure the person factually committed the crime is volatile because innocents were sentenced with the same certainty as actual criminals. When someone is considered guilty they are considered 100% guilty, in fact there is no such thing as being half guilty, unless you have a mental incapacity.
