This 50.01% standard is our judiciary's lowest standard of proof, and it does not sufficiently protect an accused person's right to due process. In his post, Adam points to Sandy Hingston's must-read just published in Philadelphia magazine on "The New Rules of College Sex," which exposes not only this new threat to due process on campus, but also the lawyers who profit from it.
