"Experience shows that it is not safe to assume that a thing cannot have been done because its commission would be an act of folly."

- Viscount Buckmaster, The Tovarisch, 38 Lloyds List Reports, p.142.
"If the accusation is not proved beyond reasonable doubt against the man accused in the dock, then by law he is entitled to be acquitted, because that is the way our rules work.  It is no concession to give him the benefit of the doubt. He is entitled by law to a verdict of Not Guilty." - R v Adams

Intriguingly, this could apply to either Jeremy or Julie (or perhaps both), depending on the view you take.
