PS - tell this to Cameron Todd Willingham. Oh wait, he's dead. Murdered by the state of Texas on flimy evidence.
Way to read part of what i wrote and extrapolate from taht!

Here is teh first part that you ignored: Guilty beyond reasonable doubt by a jury of peers is good enough for me.

Not beyond all possible doubt. Hell, I doubt the sunrising to some infinitesimal degree--acknowledging that the sun could supernova is not irrational. It is highly unlikely. If I had to stay in bed until there was no doubt that the sun might come up I could never get out of bed.

When I wrote, "After that, pray for divine intervention", I clearly intended to convey that after the judicial system has fully processed your appeals, you might consider religion because the needle is heading for a vein near you.
