Not necessarily. Remember, the jurors are generally people who are ignorant of the nature of the complicated ideas and complicated crimes. It could be the case that, to a knowledgeable person, the charges have been proven many times over. That's part of the reason Gates was brought in, if not the only reason: to corroborate the over simplified, "Manafort cheated" narrative that is catered to ignorant jurors.All I suggested is that if the prosecution did provide the evidence and prove it, then that's not why the jurors asked the judge to instruct them on "reasonable doubt".
