Utah Presumption of Innocence-Closing is a legal principle that applies in criminal cases in the state of Utah. It states that a person is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. This means that the prosecution must prove every element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt in order for a defendant to be found guilty. There are two types of closing arguments used in Utah: Direct Closing and Rebuttal Closing. Direct Closing is the initial argument made by the prosecution in order to prove the elements of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt. Rebuttal Closing is an argument made by the defense in order to refute the prosecution's evidence or arguments. Both closing arguments are important in determining the outcome of a criminal case.
