If you were a detective, that would be reasonable grounds for suspicion, and therefore a line of enquiry. But you were talking about jury service, not being a detective. Suspicions and probabilities have no place in the jury room in a criminal trial, where the threshold for conviction is 'beyond reasonable doubt'.
You can't have it both ways. Would you like to judge your fellow posters against the job description of a detective or a juror?
