"It is often that intent is crystal clear, but a lawyer is able to weasel their way into convincing a jury that there's a slight ambiguity in the law."
This isn't true. Matters of law and how to interpret the law are determined by the judge and provided in the jury instructions.
"A rule that states "No jumping on the bed" is clear of intent. Mom shouldn't have to include many near-synonyms of "jumping" and specify that it means ALL beds."
This example isn't anything like what I'm talking about.
