One thing to always consider on convictions: when an innocent person is convicted, someone is punished for a crime they did not do, and the guilty person is still free; when a guilty person is acquitted, nobody is punished for a crime they did not do, and the guilty person is still free.
That is why (at least in the US), criminal courts don't work like civil courts. If the stakes were equal for both sides, it'd make more sense to convict based on where there's more evidence.
