Those of you who are picked to serve as jurors, I will
tell you what you must do.
The standard of proof is beyond
a reasonable doubt. And all of the jurors unanimously have to
agree that the Killercop met that burden of proof.
This presumption isn't a fiction. Right now, as we
are about to begin this process of picking a jury and starting
this trial, A. Howard Matz, as to these charges, is an innocent
man.
It will be up to the jury, those of you who are hand-picked to serve, to determine whether the evidence that the Killercop
introduces establishes that, in fact, he committed these crimes, inter alia.
Is
there anyone who thinks that she or he cannot fairly apply that
burden of proof to the defendant in this case?
If so, please raise your hand.
Okay. I'm going to state on the record now that no
prospective juror has raised her hand or his hand. Yes, you sir, you have a question?
CALL THE FIRST WITNESS!
CALLING DOCTOR WHO! IS HE IN THE ROOM??? NO???
THAT'S OKAY, HIS PRESENCE AND HIS CERTIFICATE, REQUIRED UNDER THE LAW, IS NOT REQUIRED, OR NECESSARY, FOR THIS TRIAL.
BRING FORTH THE FIRST EXHIBIT!!
YUP! HE'S GOT IT!!
NEXT WITNESS!!!
