      Arthur Chu Retweeted Mara “Get Rid of the Nazis” Wilson

      There's this long running theme of lawyers using elaborate weird-ass metaphors to try to pretend the concept of "reasonable doubt" has an actual definition when it pretty clearly does nothttps://twitter.com/MaraWilson/status/1384212162969694220 …

      Like, whatever, if you're actually on a jury in a criminal trial the decision you're actually making is "Should this person go to jail or not" and layering higher-order concepts on that decision is ultimately futile

      Anyway we all know by now that sometimes "beyond a reasonable doubt" means "the cop said that's what happened and cops don't lie" And sometimes, in other cases, it means "Okay everyone saw the cop do it but how do you know they weren't all hypnotized by aliens"

      (The word "reasonable" is this one load-bearing plank of the common law tradition that absolutely cannot hold the weight that's been put on it and has been held up for decades by duct tape and C-clamps and lies The long and storied history of the "reasonable man")

          In Il courts, you're not allowed to try to define it for the jury. Instant mistrial if a court tries to define it for the jury.

          Yep. It's basically a term of art for "make the jury sort it out as an impenetrable black box"

          Comes across as who actually finds it reasonable to kneel on someone’s neck for 9 mins until they are dead. There’s your answer.

          at least in the civil context for, say, negligence, most people can get their head around what reasonable is- it's worse when you throw in a concept like "doubt" into the mix.

          in the 19th century, MA courts defined it as being to a "moral certainty" which became an influiential phrase. There was a SCOTUS case in 1994 Victor v. Nebraska, that was all about arguing whether including the phrase moral certainty in the instructions violated due process.
