(5,417 posts)If the guy has several DUI's and killed somebody, you would vote not guilty?

(82,333 posts)That's precisely what the presumption of innocence is.
Unless and until you are convinced that the state has proven the defendant's guilt, you must presume his innocence and vote not guilty.
That's much easier to do when you haven't heard a thing.
