And suppose those 12 jurors are unreasonable people who are required to reach some unknown (to them at least) state of reasonableness...

It does often make me wonder how a 'reasonable doubt' is determinedA "reasonable doubt" is a work of art like a sculpture. A trial attorney molds minds, the way a good potter molds clay.

'Molding' seeks to create form whereas 'rigging' seems to be altering (or propping up) an *existing one...{kinda}.
