FAQ

If the jury has a reasonable doubt, the defendant must be acquitted.

Reasonable doubt exists when you are not firmly convinced of the Defendant's guilt, after you have weighed and considered all the evidence. A Defendant must not be convicted on suspicion or speculation. It is not enough for the State to show that the Defendant is probably guilty.

It is not required that the government prove guilt beyond all possible doubt. A reasonable doubt is a doubt based upon reason and common sense and is not based purely on speculation. It may arise from a careful and impartial consideration of all the evidence, or from lack of evidence.

Another example of reasonable doubt in a DUI case is if the arresting officer failed to follow proper procedure or they didn't have probable cause. If the defense can demonstrate that there were flaws or any form of negligence in the arrest, this may be enough to cast reasonable doubt on the guilt of the accused.

In a criminal case, the prosecution bears the burden of proving that the defendant is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. This means that the prosecution must convince the jury that there is no other reasonable explanation that can come from the evidence presented at trial.

A request to be excused must be made in writing to the court that issued the summons and must be supported by appropriate documentation. Requests for excuse should be directed to the Jury Commissioner's Office.

Reasonable doubt is insufficient evidence that prevents a judge or jury from convicting a defendant of a crime. If it cannot be proved without a doubt that a defendant in a criminal case is guilty, then that person should not be convicted.
