/daʊt/ – verb
Definition: nghi ngờ, ngờ vực.
A more thorough explanation: In legal terms, “doubt” refers to a state of uncertainty or lack of conviction in the mind of a juror, judge, or other decision-maker regarding a fact, issue, or proposition. It may also refer to a lack of certainty or confidence in the evidence presented in a legal proceeding. In criminal law, the standard of proof “beyond a reasonable doubt” requires that the prosecution prove its case to the extent that there is no reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors as to the guilt of the defendant.
Example: The prosecution must prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in order to secure a conviction.
