Some questions you want to answer yes, just because of how they are worded (for example, will you follow the judges instructions?).\n<li>There was a lot of discussion about whether one can view the defendent as innocent if they do not testify on their own behalf. I began to think about this in terms of computer security. Look at it this way. The testimony and other items presented during the trial constitute the set of evidence used to judge &#8212; you can\u2019t make a decision based on what wasn\u2019t presented. So, in a murder trial, for example, one couldn\u2019t draw a conclusion from the fact that the gun wasn\u2019t presented &#8212; you can only base it on what was presented, and the story that tells. Not presenting the gun is no more a demonstration of guilt or innocence than the defendent testifying. In this case, with the lack of evidence, you presume innocence.\n<p>With computer security, the opposite of true. Having the scan for one system doesn\u2019t allow you to generalize that scan for another system, in the sense that something closed on the former positively implies it is closed on the latter. More significantly, lack of evidence about a system doesn\u2019t allow you to presume innocence for the system: with vulnerability assessment, you assume a system is vulnerable until convinced otherwise.<\/ul>\n<p>Still, the system worked pretty smooth, and the Burbank court isn\u2019t all that bad.
