Slippery slope this. If they get their way on the standard of proof, it will embolden them to move on the burden of proof. The 96-98% figure would improve significantly if guilt was established by accusation, with the burden being on the solicitor to prove his or her innocence. When that comes about, you just watch the criminal standard being reintroduced.
