How would you tailor your approach and reporting to address the fact that the jury may now think that without 100% conclusive evidence, the person should not be found guilty? Please avoid discussions about the presumption of innocence or a position that circumstantial evidence is never sufficient to find someone guilty. This discussion is for you to consider how you would convince someone that your circumstantial evidence is sufficient and how to counter the idea that perfect evidence is always available.
