I would have to be 100% sure if I were on a jury. The burden of proof lies on the state and if I have any doubt, my stance would be not guilty.

Absolutely. Especially if we're talking about a serious charge that will possibly put someone in jail for years and/or send them to the chair.
Luckily I've never had to sit on a trail like that, just a medical malpractice suit.
