If your crime is caught on a video cam the jury is likely to be harsher on you.
Juries face an element of uncertainty when they pass judgment in a case. Juries have to weigh conflicting opinions, eye witnesses, and arguments.

Vaccination doesn’t cause autism.
That’s right. The doctor who said it did performed fraudulent research and lost his medical license.
This is why we need licensing boards. To stop phonies like him from spreading lies without end.
