Correct. But the burden of proof is on the prosecution. Therefore the evidence should be completely damning and there should be no possible evidence that could later come up that would exonerate. That's the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt."
There is no scenario where I would vote to convict someone of a crime that can carry the death penalty, but wouldn't be willing to vote to sentence them to the death penalty.
So we're in agreement then, you're an OJ Simpson juror. If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit!
Yes, that trial was a failure of the prosecution, not the jury.
