Answer:

These Juries were capable of coming to two such verdict because, a criminal jury's burden of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt" and a civil jury's burden of proof is "preponderance of the evidence."

A criminal's jury burden of proof being beyond a reasonable doubt means that the legal standard for deciding the outcome of a criminal charge, requires evidence that is sufficient to eliminate any doubts that a reasonable person might entertain about whether a claim is more likely to be true than not.

A civil jury burden of proof being preponderance of the evidence means that the legal standard applied for deciding the outcome of civil disputes, requires that evidence be sufficient to determine that a claim is more likely to be true than not.

When larry claims definitely and dogmatically that he knows that we cannot have anything at all he is expressing?
Papessa [141]
Larry uses mitigated skepticism. According to David Hume's essay, mitigated skepticism is where somebody simply accepts the limits of human knowledge while shadowing the real aims of math and science. This is a philosophical tactic that tries to offer a level of caution in human reasoning.
