proof beyond a reasonable doubt的真正意思?

Proof that precludes every reasonable hypothesis except that which it tends to support. See REASONABLE DOUBT.

• Formerly, this standard required evidence to “establish the truth of the fact to a reasonable and moral certainty” and “proof to a moral certainty as distinguished from an absolute certainty.” Moral certainty is no longer a synonym for proof beyond a reasonable doubt. See Victor v. Nebraska, 511 U.S. 1, 8, 12, 114 S.Ct. 1239, 1244, 1246 (1994). [Cases: Criminal Law 561. C.J.S. Criminal Law § 1108.]
