The jury in the Lindsay Clancy murder trial got sent back to deliberate after the judge laid out the standard for proof beyond a reasonable doubt. The definition being used makes it clear that this does not mean proof beyond all possible doubt. Instead, a charge is proved if after you compared and considered all the evidence, you have an abiding conviction to a moral certainty that the charge is true. That specific language suggests there was major argumentation happening behind closed doors given how long this process has dragged on. If deliberations are lasting this long, I am hoping they are close to a first-degree murder conviction.
