If you’re jurors in a rape trial and you all believe the defendant is probably guilty but can’t prove it/be certain beyond a reasonable doubt is the moral decision to go against the law and rule him guilty or uphold the law and rule him not guilty

“If the crime is severe enough, its ok to presume guilt” is a great way to end up with even worse tyranny than we have now

… sir this all entirely depends on so much within a trial period and from what is presented to the jury, how it’s presented, how the prosecution acts, how the defense acts, what motions and choices they make through the case… this is such a vague hypothetical that it’s really silly to answer either way.
