A more thorough explanation: “To convict on proof” refers to the legal process of finding a person guilty of a crime based on the evidence or proof presented in court. It means that the evidence presented has been sufficient to establish the guilt of the accused beyond a reasonable doubt, leading to a formal declaration of guilt by a judge or jury.
Example: The defendant was convicted on proof beyond a reasonable doubt of committing the crime.
