    I’m not sure how to break this to you but this is just an internet forum, not a court of law

      The reason courts use it is because they value having true opinions. But you’re welcome to not value that indeed

        The reason courts have rules of how convinced one must be to declare guilt is because they dread punishing an innocent over allowing a guilty person free

        We aren’t in a position to hurt the probably guilty party so it doesn’t matter a bit of we jump to conclusions unfairly
