The prosecution.
The standard is proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
True
...committed the crime - beyond all reasonable doubt.
That is a true statement.
A petit jury in a criminal trial decides whether or not a defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The other type of jury, the Grand Jury, decides whether or not there is sufficient evidence to bring charges against a defendant prior to the trial. It does not decide whether or not the defendant is guilty. Therefore the Grand Jury is not bound by the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt.
In a criminal case, the burden of proof must meet the standard of "beyond a reasonable doubt" to establish the guilt of the defendant.
The standard of proof that the government must meet to find a defendant guilty in criminal law is "beyond a reasonable doubt." This means that the evidence presented must be strong enough to convince a reasonable person of the defendant's guilt without any reasonable doubt.
In a misdemeanor case, the burden of proof is typically "beyond a reasonable doubt." This means that the prosecution must prove that the defendant is guilty of the crime charged to a high degree of certainty.
In a criminal trial, the prosecution must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime they are accused of. This includes presenting evidence and convincing the jury or judge that the defendant is guilty.
The Burden of Persuasion lies with the Defense. Burden of Proof lies with the Prosecution. Prosecutors have the "burden of proof" and must convince a jury that, beyond all reasonable doubt, a person committed a crime or intended on committing a crime. (Conspiracy to commit murder, robbery, arson, etc. etc.) The Defense attorneys must do the exact opposite, proving that their client is innocent and could not have ever committed any heinous acts, or any crimes.
in a criminal case to determine if the prosecution proved the accused's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt or not....in a civil case to determine if the defendant is liable to the plaintiff as a result of his (the defendant's) action or failure to act and if so to what extent
The clause beyond reasonable doubt simply means that there is enough evidence to convince the judge that you have committed the act or in other word, the crime.That is the standard which must be met for conviction of a defendant in a criminal trial. Notice that the standard is not, "beyond ALL doubt," - only beyond REASONABLE doubt.REASONABLE DOUBT - The level of certainty a juror must have to find a defendant guilty of a crime. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt, therefore, is proof of such a convincing character that you would be willing to rely and act upon it without hesitation in the most important of your own affairs. However, it does not mean beyond ALL doubt.See below link:
