So the "reasonable doubt" defense has to go!

Of course not, and you know me better than to imply that I don't believe in our system of justice and that the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt a defendent's guilt.

To my mind that would not include spinning false tales for the jury.

"To my mind that would not include spinning false tales for the jury".

Since under our law, only the jury is charged with determining the facts, this would apply to ALL lost cases.
