Nobody other than yourself is arguing that reasonable doubt is being generally ignored by juries. You either misunderstood the Kalven-Zeisel study that you brought to the argument or you failed to read it. The study showed that juries had a

The 78% agreement rate between judges and juries suggests a shared interpretation of evidence, which indirectly indicates both are following the same 'reasonable doubt' standard. The 3% disagreement where judges would have convict

Even if the phone was completely stationary and you made no recorded interactions/transactions at all with it, it wouldn't get "thrown out as an alibi". This evidence would get considered with regards to other corroborat

The evidence would have to be looked at in regards to the totality of the evidence. They couldn't just say you handed the phone to somebody else without knowing this and showing evidence that this was the case. Assertions without evide

A lot of intellectual/software work is a bit like this though. It'll be interesting to see whether these AI tools scale into more complex work, as right now what you tend to see is a "good start point" but eventually the

The good thing about Scrum is that there are hundreds of little dials that can be modified if you're not getting any value from it. Due to this level of flexibility, it's always the right approach.
