As a member of the jury, one is seldom 100% certain.

I know this because I have served on 3 juries

However, you have to make up your mind!

Sometimes you have to decide which witnesses are lying.

As a Juror in the trial of Roy Moore, I vote: NOT GUILTY!

I’ve been on only one jury and it was a mess > IMO.

The jury foreman introduced a factoid about police lying under oath, that was not presented in the trial, successfully > IMO < getting folks to dismiss police testimony in this case.

The perp had offered up a few lies that are common types of things perps do when confronted with something they can’t defend against. One was contradictory of other evidence presented, but the jurors couldn’t see it.

He stated in his testimony that he drove away from the crime scene and the officer followed him trying to get him to return to the scene of the incident.

Photos showed his car parked at the scene. He never left the site. He was arrested there.

After the verdict was in and the guy was acquitted, a number of the jurors gathered around the defense attorney just gleaming with fandom.

So far, I’d have to agree with your take on things.

Moore doesn’t have the look of a guilty guy here, and his accusers do not seem credible to me.
