Joe,

re: It is not reasonable doubt in civil cases.

Yes, I know.

Our major difference is that I trust my fellow citizens more than a mixture of elected and appointed judges. You don't. You think juries are too soft on criminals, and too tough on companies or professionals.

On the other hand, I also trust the (sentencing) judges more than I do the legislatures that hand down their sentencing "guidelines" from on high. In many cases our judges have to hand out heavy jail sentences for victimless crimes that are "politically incorrect".
