I got exactly the same answer from a fellow juror in a criminal case. I asked him what he thought the probability was that the defendant actually was guilty. He gave me that 50% answer. Then I asked him if he understood what the judge was saying about "beyond a reasonable doubt." That really angered him. He responded "if he were not guilty, he would not be on trial." This guy was a college graduate, by the way.
