<<<There is no such thing as a verdict of innocent.>>> Uh...yes there is...it's called "not guilty". Regardless of whether you want to admit it or not that's the way it is. <<<Ok, well the difference between "not guilty" and "innocent" has been clarified too many times now.>>> Wrong...what we have been hosted to is a plethora of psycho-babble by an arm chair quarterback who doesn't have sense enough to understand that if a person is not guilty they are innocent. <<<The court system says it is not the same, it is your opinion that it is.>>> Oh please...."the court system"...yes please show me where it says in any penal code that a person is guilty and not innocent once a "not guilty" verdict has been reached. <<One more time "not guilty" may be a verdict that an innocent person gets. It is also the verdict a person gets who commits a crime but the prosecution can't provide enough evidence to convict.>>> Yes, at which time it resorts to opinion as to a person's guilt or innocence. Sorry, but you're opinion doesn't count for a hill of beans. I believe a 12 person verdict over a one person opinion any time. What you don't want to swallow is a "not guilty" might smack of prosecutorial incompetence rather than a lack of evidence. That's just too damn bad.
