FAQ

A: Upon their request, a person shall be exempt from services as juror if the person is: A member of the armed forces of the United States who is serving on active duty during a time of war or declared hostilities. A mother who is breastfeeding a baby. A person who can prove mental or physical disability.

When this happens, the court declares a mistrial, which is often referred to as a ?hung jury.? When a hung jury is the result in your case, what happens next? You would think since the prosecution could not prove you guilty, the charges should be dismissed. Unfortunately, that is not the law in California.

Reasonable doubt exists when you are not firmly convinced of the Defendant's guilt, after you have weighed and considered all the evidence. A Defendant must not be convicted on suspicion or speculation. It is not enough for the State to show that the Defendant is probably guilty.

It is not required that the government prove guilt beyond all possible doubt. A reasonable doubt is a doubt based upon reason and common sense and is not based purely on speculation. It may arise from a careful and impartial consideration of all the evidence, or from lack of evidence.

In a criminal case, the prosecution bears the burden of proving that the defendant is guilty beyond all reasonable doubt. This means that the prosecution must convince the jury that there is no other reasonable explanation that can come from the evidence presented at trial.

Another example of reasonable doubt in a DUI case is if the arresting officer failed to follow proper procedure or they didn't have probable cause. If the defense can demonstrate that there were flaws or any form of negligence in the arrest, this may be enough to cast reasonable doubt on the guilt of the accused.

Reasonable doubt is insufficient evidence that prevents a judge or jury from convicting a defendant of a crime. If it cannot be proved without a doubt that a defendant in a criminal case is guilty, then that person should not be convicted.
