What does “beyond a reasonable doubt” mean?
The truthful answer to this question is that nobody really knows. Courts and legal scholars across the country have been arguing and debating the subject for years. Some have said that it involves proof “to a moral certainty.” The problem with that and most other explanations is that it isn’t any easier to define “moral certainty” than it is to define “reasonable doubt.” Certainly, proof of guilt “beyond a reasonable doubt” involves a very strong belief in the truth of the charge, but it’s difficult to define with any degree of specificity.
