It's a search for the truth under the rules of evidence because judges will keep out evidence a lot. They'll say, oh, it's too remote. It's too prejudicial. Not all evidence is prejudicial. That's why it's being introduced because it hurts the defendant. Right. But some judges will leave it out if it's just too inflammatory, too long ago, whatever. Right.

Harvey Weinstein is getting a new trial in New York because the judge did let in some evidence that was like remote. Right. And jurors convicted and the appellate court said, yeah, they probably shouldn't have heard that. So he's getting a new trial in New York, but he's not going anywhere. He's here in New York. I actually didn't know that he was getting a new trial. That's. Yeah.

But I think he's got something pending in L.A. too. And some new charges. I mean. He's never, he's never getting out.

But what do you do as a juror when you think okay both sides can be true and does the truth ever actually come out because they feel like defense and prosecution can both paint a really good picture but that doesn't necessarily mean that that is exactly how it happened.

Well, I mean, jurors are told to vote with their conscience, and if you can't decide, then I would say it's a not guilty, because if you can't decide, if you really don't know what happened and you just flip-flop, I mean, you have to give the benefit of doubt to the defendant, right? Most of the time, jurors come up with a verdict one way or the other.

I mean, they feel like they've been able to resolve a case. A not guilty finding, by the way, is not innocence. It does not mean innocence. That just means the prosecution did not prove every element of the crimes charged beyond a reasonable doubt.

I remember covering a case in Springfield, Missouri years ago where a father, a school teacher, a man was accused of killing his wife and his two children. One was a a toddler and the other one, maybe four or something. I mean, bashed in his son's head, strangled the baby with the cord from the,
