What happens if a jury thinks there is a 'Reasonable Doubt'?
If the entire jury agrees that reasonable doubt exists, they will bring an acquittal or "not guilty" verdict. If, however, only some of the jury can be convinced, a "hung jury" usually results, that is a jury that cannot decide on acquittal or conviction. Occasionally, some of the members of a jury may feel there is reasonable doubt that exists and feel that the charges brought cannot be successfully prosecuted, but that evidence does exist for some sort of conviction and in the event lesser charges can be decided upon, will bring a verdict on the lesser charges. Each state in the US is slightly different.
What is the difference between an acquittal and a hung jury?
An acquittal is when the judge (in a bench trial) or the jury (in a jury trial) finds the defendant not guilty. The defendant has to go through the whole trial before he is acquitted. A dismissal is when the judge throws out the case before going to trial for a specific reason (lack of evidence for example.) The dismissal happens before there is even a trial.
