Do you have a citation for that legal standard of "clear and unyielding evidence?" :waitasec:I've never seen that legal standard in a statute or jury instructions. Just wondering where you got it.
No. The source was Arthur Miller -- Harvard Law Professor version, not the playwright.
Obviously, if evidence is not clear, it can't be "reliable". And if the defense offers a reasonable explanation for an item of evidence, jurors are mandated to hold that evidence for the defense. In other words, they must "yield" that evidence in favor of the defense.
