The best description of the burden of proof that the government must present in a criminal case is beyond a reasonable doubt. This is the highest standard of proof used in the legal system and requires that the evidence presented by the prosecution must convince the jury of the defendant's guilt to the extent that there is no reasonable doubt left.
