Silly me. I was taught that to get convicted, one had to have the government provide factual evidence instead of judges using 'common sense' to decide whether or not a person ought to be believed.
This ruling takes the rule of law away from justice to the defendant and places guilt or innocence in the hands of judges that use their 'gut instincts' instead of facts.
