Title: Beyond reasonable doubt
Post by: Duck on September 12, 2010, 01:10:23 pm

I fully understand why a unanimous jury verdict is required to satisfy the standard of proof when convicting but I question why a 7-5 not guilty verdict cannot acquit. Surely that is reasonable doubt. Any law student opinions?
