Therefore, if true belief and knowledge were equivalent, jurymen could never come to a correct verdict without actual knowledge and experience of the events as they occurred and this clearly cannot be the case.
Undoubtedly, convincing a juror to favor one side in a particular case is not the same as instructing [her] thoroughly in the true facts of a case. (Page 908) Concordantly, the juror is without direct knowledge of this event, and must therefore come to a correct verdict by the sole means of a true belief in the particular argument of the lawyer. If any jury is ever capable of reaching a correct verdict by this means, knowledge and true belief cannot be the same. .
Who would argue otherwise? A panel of individuals is led to eventually reach a correct verdict through deception or persuasion. Is it now possible to say that the jury was able to come to this correct verdict because it collectively held knowledge of the events that occurred? Of course not; if a silver-tongued lawyer bamboozles the jury into aligning itself with his intentions, it does not follow to say the jury knew the correct facts of the case even if a correct verdict were ultimately reached. .
One might argue that if the jury has reached a correct verdict due to its conviction in a preponderance of evidence, it is possible to say the jury was knowledgeable of the events as they occurred. But is this truly possible? Take, for example, the dominant scientific explanation of the origin of the universe: the Big Bang Theory. Scientists currently have a great deal of evidence in support of the Big Bang Theory the fact that distant galaxies travel away from us at speeds proportional to their distance, the preeminence of cosmic background radiation, and so on. However, it is doubtful beyond end that this theory will ever be proven: even the theory's greatest supporters submit that it can never be proven. So, even though this is currently the most logical theory of creation both widely accepted and supported by quite a preponderance of evidence can we truly say we know this is how the universe was created? Surely not.
