You would hope in the case of a jury that common sense would prevail due to more than one person making the decision. You would have to have a consensus of the jury having to agree that stories alone were enough to convict. If that's the case the girl was simply an excellent liar. What I see here is one man that maybe got some sort of vibe from the defendant's demeanor and felt he was lying. Really it's not his job to go on his gut as you need more evidence than simply her word against his and eye contact.
