My way out (true story):

SparkyBass, what do you do for a living?

I'm an engineer

Do you think you can determine what is beyond reasonable doubt?

Absolutely!

What would constitute an unreasonable doubt?

Well, if the defense said Elvis flew down in his spaceship and made the defendant commit the crime, I think that would be considered unreasonable.

Jurors and audience laughed. Judge looked like he could poop a brick. Prosecution said "we'll keep him!", defense let me go home.

The guy before me argued "if they are arrested they MUST be guilty!" Judge argued with him for 20 minutes then sent him BACK to the jury pool to be picked for another trial.
