what does “beyond a reasonable doubt” mean?
In: 7
It’s reasonable to doubt your lactose intolerant friend ate your last slice of cake. There’s enough evidence to suggest he probably, most likely, didn’t do it.
It’s unreasonable to doubt your friend with crumbs and icing on his face, standing next to the same container your slice of cake was in didn’t eat it. While it’s not undeniable proof, almost all pieces of evidence point to that he did it.
Another silly example, cause these actively help people remember:
If you see a turd on the floor in your house, and you own a dog, it’s reasonable to suspect the dog did it, and not your 15 year old brother. It’s entirely possible that your brother did it, but it’s just super unlikely.
