| 单词 | beyond a reasonable doubt |
| 释义 | beyond a reasonable doubt beyond a reasonable doubt the standard of proof in criminal cases in the UK, higher than the civil standard of the BALANCE OF PROBABIL- ITIES. Contrasted with the balance of probabilities, it is not a matter of weighing up both sides and deciding who has won. Thus, if matters are evenly balanced, the accused must be acquitted. Juries when charged are often reminded that they are allowed to have doubts. The doubt must be a real doubt before they acquit – it must not be a fanciful doubt. |
