Best Answer

"Reasonable doubt", as explored in the movie starring Henry Fonda, is the concept that you should not vote guilty if there is "reasonable doubt", no matter how sure others on the jury are.

As to the specific reasonable doubts that came out:

1. The old man downstairs probably could not have got to the door in time to see the defendant.

2. The lady who claimed to have witnessed the murder through the windows of a passing el-train probably could not have - as she wore glasses that she probably wasn't wearing at the time.

3. The murder weapon was more common then the DA had led them to believe.

4. The defendent may have legitimately forgot what movies he had seen that night, due to his emotional distress.
