Loved the mouse in the box example.

Brilliant. Loved the cat, the mouse, the box and the holes. So simple and boy it explains it well. 👍👍👍

I was watching the Young Dolph murder trial and the prosecutors closing arguments seemed more like clear and convincing. She described beyond reasonable doubt as moral certainty. She asked "can you sleep at night with this verdict?" Something about that seems off.

("I have a 22210pc charge here in California; but, I'm gathering evidence for an entrapment defense around being denied services over serious 646.9pc issues...which deputies have been denying understanding of and've been denying my complaints/reports constitute...")

As it relates to the cat, mouse and box story, let's say that an "expert" is brought in with more than 50 years of experience in dealing with cats, mice and boxes and has also testified in hundreds of similar cases and has concluded, for this case, based on the analyses performed, that (although there are no holes in the box) the cat DID NOT eat the mouse (conclusion consistent with blah, blah, blah, vegetarian cat, blah, blah, blah). Do you still "charge" the cat with eating the mouse?
