    A case like this should be ironclad, though. “Beyond all reasonable doubt” is the standard for criminal charges. I wouldn’t want people to be convicted of life-ruining crimes based on non-ironclad cases.

      I’m saying the evidence doesn’t just have to be “ironclad” enough for a guilty verdict, it has to be so overwhelming that the outcome of the trial can be reasonably certain before a case is made. Why would I argue for the standard for evidence in a trial to be lessened? That doesn’t make sense.
