Clarifying "preponderance of the evidence" jury instructions
Legal jargon is convenient shorthand for discussion among lawyers and judges, but is is often befuddling to even intelligent, well-educated lay jurors. "Preponderance," rarely if ever used by non-lawyers in everyday speech, is such a term.
