And yet, if he is convicted, you and others will certainly hold that up as the centerpiece in your reasoning.

Must be nice to have it both ways.

Conviction = Guilty
Acquittal = Still Guilty

[/ QUOTE ]wow i take this to mean if bonds is convicted, redbean will not give excuses that the trial was unfair, or that the jury was biased, or that the defense was feeble, or that media blah blah blah, but will accept the fact that bonds did steroids and will recant all his earlier statements?

[/ QUOTE ]

Honestly? I'd say yes

[/ QUOTE ]

Agree, but it works both ways. If he is not convicted it still does not mean he did not use steroids.

[/ QUOTE ]

Of course not. We've been over this. NOTHING could ever possibly mean he didnt do steroids. It is impossible to prove that. An acquittal, the summary firing of everyone involved from the DoJ side, admissions it was all a witch hunt, Jesus coming down to testify on Bonds behalf, none of that would mean he didnt take steroids.

Remember when we had a big discussion about weighted probabilities? Are you claiming that an acquittal doesnt shift the likelihood AT ALL? Or just that it could never possibly shift the likelihood any meaningful amount? Or what?
