Something like "minimum level of doubt" is subjective.Not necessarily. All facts are subject to this criterion (since absolute proof is impossible outside of pure mathematics/logic). Granted, in few criminal cases is something proved to a scientific level of certainty, but an acceptable level (again, subject to some chosen point) of proof is possible. To put it another way, no system will, even in non-capital cases, guarantee that absolutely no innocents are punished, but I'd be satisfied with a system that gets the wrongful convicted down to less than 0.1% rather than like the 20% The Innocence Project had shown it to be. |
