The preponderance of the evidence

[Charles Collins]

You didn't know the ramifications of the word "preponderance" when you started this thread, did you?  A preponderance is based on the more convincing evidence and its probable truth or accuracy, and not on the amount of evidence. But how can you establish the preponderance if you can't evaluate the evidence critically?

Preponderance of the evidence is one type of evidentiary standard used in a burden of proof analysis. Under the preponderance standard, the burden of proof is met when the party with the burden convinces the fact finder that there is a greater than 50% chance that the claim is true. This is the burden of proof in a civil trial. Beyond a reasonable doubt is another matter.

convinces the fact finder

Yes and evidence that one person finds to be convincing might not be convincing to another person. Hence we have ?hung juries ? and subsequent mistrials. What is amazing to me is that the same evidence can be completely polarizing in this case.

that the same evidence can be completely polarizing in this case.

It might not have been if it had been looked at honestly, without a political agenda.

What makes you even think I had to examine even one piece of crap to figure that out?

And please tell how in the world you think you know what I like?

Another joke. You left yourself open. I couldn?t resist.

To make a fool of yourself?

Btw, do all LNs follow a course for talking gibberish or does it simply come natural to them?

Open to what? Is this a game to you?

You can dish it out but you sure can?t take it.

Take what? Stop talking gibberish?

I have been doing investigative work for the biggest part of my life, but I'll be damned if I can figure out what you are trying to say.

If you are having that much difficulty, perhaps you should consider another line of work.

If you are having that much difficulty, perhaps you should consider another line of work.

Or, alternatively, I could just ignore your nonsensical ramblings.
