'''Beyond a reasonable doubt''' is the standard in a criminal case requiring that the jury be satisfied to a moral certainty that every element of a [[crime]] has been proven by the [[prosecution]]. This standard of proof does not require that the state establish absolute certainty by eliminating all doubt, but it does require that the evidence be so conclusive that all reasonable doubts are removed from the mind of the ordinary person.
