Denver Legal Standard Lawyer
In a criminal trial, juries are instructed that they must find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. There is no specific legislation that defines this notion, so each juror must decide what this phrase means to him or her. It is up to an experienced attorney to properly instruct the members of the jury about the standards that must be upheld.
At David M. Black, P.A., our lawyer has 28 years of experience protecting clients from the full force of the criminal justice system. Clients rely on us to fight zealously to defend their rights and protect their freedom at every step of the process.
Beyond a Reasonable Doubt
If a criminal case is not resolved through negotiation with the district attorney, it might be resolved by a jury. The members of the jury will be instructed that the defendant needs to be found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.
In many cases, it is the concept of guilt beyond a reasonable doubt that stands between an innocent person who has been falsely accused of a crime, and the criminal justice system that desires to punish the person whether they actually committed the crime or not. If faced with accusations that could jeopardize your liberty, call upon an attorney with the experience and knowledge necessary to use these concepts, and the vast array of defense strategies and techniques to ensure a just and equitable result in your case.
