Not to be a dick, but:
He's literally saying the opposite of "I have doubts" still here, he's saying "I have no doubts but these other people are interupting me like I do have doubts."
Now, that still seems like a dumb fucking thing to say, but he's not contradicting his doubtlessness, he's saying he's being doubted, that "as if" is very important for context.
I think that if a juror is pushing different possible theories, they have reasonable doubt.
That and the following statement from another juror:
"I'm not sure if she bashed his head in with a hammer, or a lead pipe, or a candlestick, but I am sure she bashed his head in."
This is a person describing three different possible theories, without admitting to reasonable doubt of criminal culpability.
OH I see what you mean.
Yeah but in this context "reasonable doubt" is a very specific thing and "doubt" is just the concept, so, "he does not doubt that he has a reasonable doubt regarding her innocence" actually, as dumb as it sounds, could possibly be the valid interpretation of his statements.
But regardless, that second statement (from the post I replied to ykwim lol) doesn't mean "I had doubts," it means the literal opposite.
Also he could just be lying anyway, but those two OG statements quoted aren't (at least necessarily) contradictory.
