Oh, what a splendid idea.  But why stop at 10 to 2?  If any juror, or the
judge, or anyone in the audience, or anyone who reads about the case, knows 
that a defendant is guilty, then the defendant must be guilty and we should 
follow that up appropriately.

Unspiek will note that the "reform" advocated by "Rodger Silvers" would not 
have ensured Simpson's conviction.  Unspiek's proposed standard would have.
