Sueann Musick:
Any reasonable doubt is not far fetched doubt. It is doubt based on reason and common sense. It logically arises from the evidence or lack or evidence.

Sueann Musick:
You may believe some, none, or all of the evidence of witness. When you go to jury room, use the same common sense every day to decide if you know what people are talking about or if they are telling the truth.

If you believe Falconer, you must find him not guilty. If you have reasonable doubt you must find him not guilty. If you don't believe him but the rest of the evidence supports this case, than you must find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Evidence includes the facts to which the party agreed. You must take what they agreed as facts in this case.

To say someone was wearing a rain jacket and dropping wet, would be circumstantial evidence that it's raining outside

I hope all members of the jury have good hearing; because from what I understand, those calls were hard to hear.

You can take your notes with you to the jury room. They are not evidence. The only purpose to use your notes is to help you remember. A jury's decision is a group decision. EVeryone has say and an equal say.
