| 释义 | 無合理疑點 A standard of proof. In criminal proceedings a court must not find the charge proved if it is not satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that the accused committed the offence charged: Woolmington v DPP [1935] AC 462. Expressions like ‘100% certainty’ and ‘mathematical certainty’ should be avoided: R v Yeung Kuen Chi & Anor [1984] HKLR 447 (CA). An alternative is to tell the jury that they must be satisfied so as to be sure: Walters v R [1969] 2 AC 26. It was wrong to make a distinction between ‘sure’ and ‘certain’: R v Lee Yuk Wah & Ors [1985] HKLR 193 (CA). The implication of the requirement is that the accused is presumed to be innocent and entitled to be acquitted if the prosecution has not established guilt beyond reasonable doubt. See also Balance of probabilities; Burden of proof; Golden thread principle; Standard of proof. 舉證的準則。在刑事訴訟程序中，如法庭並不信納被告所觸犯的被檢控罪行是無合理疑點的，則不得作出有關檢控經已獲得證實的裁斷：Woolmington v DPP [1935] AC 462。應避免使用「百分之一百確切」及「完全確切」的詞句：R v Yeung Kuen Chi & Anor [1984] HKLR 447 （上訴法庭）。另一選擇是告知有關的陪審團他們必須信納以致是確實的：Walters v R [1969] 2 AC 26。就「確實的」及「確定的」作出區別是錯誤的：R v Lee Yuk Wah & Ors [1985] HKLR 193 （上訴法庭）。此規定的含意是有關的被告推定為無罪，此外，如控方未能證明指稱的罪行是無合理疑點的，則被告有權獲得釋放。另見 Balance of probabilities; Burden of proof; Golden thread principle; Standard of proof。 |
