I have heard that the detectives and police today are perplexed about crime shows like CSI. Juries and citizens in general expect what they see on TV to actually happen. DNA results within a moment, crime scenes which are never tainted in any way shape or form, and larger than life (and very hot) heroes who can bring the guilty party to trial without even the smallest doubt for the jury to ponder over.
That is why I still say that people have different views on what *reasonable doubt* means. Although in this case, I struggle to see what that reasonable doubt was, but I trust that the jury found something to keep them from using it.
