You decide his fate??

Question

If you were a jury....?

Would you find this person guilty or not?

Case- Jack is a drug addict. he put fake perscriptions in the pharmacy for many people. He says one of the people he put a pers. in for was Bill and says Bill picked it up for him. Jack was caught and ratted out 9 people. 8 people admitted to picking up the medicine for Jack. Bill was the 9th accused and said he was innocent.

Evidence-

Jack's testimony saying Bill picked up the meds. And a siganture from the pharmacy- Results of the hand writing analysis were INCONCLUSIVE ( the report said Bill "probably" did it. but not definite)

But who would you believe? Bill has an INCREDIBLE record. And NO history of drug use. Mean while the other 8 accused that plead guilty had previous drug charges and bad behavior.

Do you think Bill is GUILTY of picking up the med or NOT?

ADDING THIS: Bill says that Jack stole his I.D. and picked up the med. and forged his sign. (Jack has admitted to stealing his wifes I.D an doing that)

Answer 1

Not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  Bill should be freed in my opinion.

Answer 2

It doesn't matter whether we/I think Bill is probably guilty or not.  The established liar says Bill is lying.  Bill says he's not, and no one has established Bill as a liar.  The only tangible evidence is inconclusive.  The prosecution has failed to prove Bill's guilt, beyond a reasonable doubt.  Even though I might say "Bill, that slimy POS, is getting away with this.." under my breath, the law requires me to say Not Guilty.

Answer 3

I would acquit on the fact that there is a lack of evidence, and in our legal system a jury needs to see "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Answer 4

yes, no doubt about it.  Bill is very so guilty.  8 out of 9 people plead guilty and the last one out of allllllll of them is all of a sudden....innocent?  Hmmmm, you can't help but wonder.

Answer 5

i THINK i'd give Bill the benefit of the doubt and say he is not gulty
