/stændərd ʌv pruf bɪˈjɒnd ə ˈriːzənəbl daʊt/ – Phrase
Definition: tiêu chuẩn về tính đã được chứng minh khi không có điều nghi ngờ có căn cứ (trong vụ án hình sự).
A more thorough explanation: “Standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt” is a legal standard used in criminal cases to establish the guilt of a defendant. It means that the prosecution must prove the defendant’s guilt to the extent that there is no reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors or judge that the defendant committed the crime. This standard is higher than the “preponderance of the evidence” standard used in civil cases, requiring a much higher level of certainty before a defendant can be convicted.
Example: In a criminal trial, the prosecution must prove the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt in order to secure a conviction.
