In New York criminal cases, the burden of proof requires the prosecutor to prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is the highest standard of proof in the legal system. It means that the jury or judge must have a moral certainty that the defendant committed the crime.
Unless a rule or statute specifically states otherwise, a pleading need not be verified or accompanied by an affidavit.
Verification of complaints is largely optional under the CPLR. There are some statutes, however, that require a verified complaint in certain circumstances. See New York Statute Search; see also Overview – Initiating a Special Proceeding.
