"However, it does not mean an absolute certainty."
Before our case, I asked the meaning, because the lawyers kept throwing around the term to the prospective jurors, including myself, as if everyone knew what it meant. When I asked the lawyers, the judge interrupted and answered (which is good, but I ascertained very quickly that, as one would hope, he had a better understanding of the law than the lawyers, or at least he was better able to convey it). He said our state specifically does not define the term, then talked around it a bit and said it specifically does not mean "absolute certainty." So that much is agreeable. I was bothered by this at first - to whom should this doubt be reasonable? To me?
