22. "beyond a reasonable doubt" NEVER means certainty.

122 convicted and sentenced to death, "beyond a reasonable doubt," and then PROVEN INNOCENT (not merely doubt of guilt!) should be more than enough for any sane and rational person to acknowledge that there's no such thing as absolute certainty in death penalty cases.
