Proof
of a direct moral action is a mean (measured in scales) between
insufficient and excess of a virtuous value.
1. What is meant by proving a case beyond a reasonable doubt?
As Aristotle sciences, Justice is the mean between a man's getting more
or less than his due.
Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a methodology use in criminal Law.
The standard of proof in a criminal case, describes the amount of
evidence necessary to prove an assertion or claim in a trial. The
burden of proof is on the prosecution and means that in order for a
jury to convict a defendant in a criminal trial, they must believe that
the prosecution has presented evidence that is so compelling, that no
one other than the defendant is responsible for the crime.
1. What does innocent until prove guilty mean?
James Madison influenced the term “innocent before prove
guilty” It also seems presumed innocent evolved from the Bill
of Rights. Rational basis test used to determine the constitutionality
of a statute became law, Coffin vs. U.S. (1894), and this commonsense
principal has strengthened since in the judicial system.
Any system of rational law starts from the common-sense principle that
a person who commits a crime should be accountable in proportion to the
nature and severity of the crime, so, 'Innocent until prove guilty' is
a principle of rational law, a means to ensure that the proper person
is convicted of a crime. “Innocent until prove
guilty,” is a presumption of innocence or a principle that
assumes a defendant to be innocent until the government can prove their
guilt beyond reasonable doubt.
1. Name and explain any defense to criminal conduct discussed in the
lectures.
The insanity plea, A person may have or not been unjustly influenced by
the weather or other outside entrapment which impair the liberty of
conscience which caused duress or mental disorder. Here there we find
no intent to commit a crime but the apparent state of mind failure
which causes an uncontrolled behavior of sorts. Therefore, if the
defendant is incapable of control of their behavior, they
earn’t to be blamed for the offense.
