<clear and convincing to some juries means the same as or nearly the same as beyond a reasonable doubt and to other juries a midpoint between preponderance of the evidence and the beyond a reasonable doubt standard.>

All those "definitions" are a load of rubbish. In engineering measurement, there are "this many cubic metres" or "3.14159 inches long", or "24.34 rads" or whatever the unit of measurement is.

In legal definitions, "beyond reasonable doubt" and all the other malarkey mean, in actual definitions, not pretentious ones "I'm sick of this DNA stuff. It reminds me of high school. Let's go with 'if it don't fit, you must acquit' and get lunch. If it rhymes, it's probably right. Rap rhymes and I like rap. What is for lunch anyway? He's an ugly-looking sod and didn't the judge say something about equitable estoppel inter alia? Ipso facto, reasonably doubtfully, I reckon he done it and QCOM is an evil-doing monopolist. Mel Gibson doesn't like Jews either. I never though you could trust them."

But that definition can't really be put in a legal book or nobody would pay $500 an hour.
