To begin with "beyond reasonable doubt" needs to be replaced with "beyond X% certainty" where 100-X is whatever percent of innocent convictions we're comfortable with.
I think the certainty required should probably vary based on the length of the sentence (or the value of the penalty in civil cases, etc.).
