But, no. The legal system does have murky lines. Surely you have heard the phrase "beyond a reasonable doubt"? That certainly sounds like a layman's way of talking about probability. (Of course, when Mike Caro asked a judge during a jury selection interview what probability of being wrong constitutes 'beyond a reasonable doubt', he didn't get an answer and didn't get chosen for the jury...) _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
