Common Charges
Proof Beyond A Reasonable Doubt
In order to be convicted of any criminal offense, the State’s Attorney must prove beyond a reasonable doubt all the elements of the crime with which you are charged. This is a high burden. You do not have to prove your innocence. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt is a much more onerous standard than the civil standard which requires a mere preponderance of the evidence. An experienced criminal lawyer can determine if the state is likely to prevail - if not, we can pursue a full blown criminal trial or usually an acceptable plea bargain can be reached.
