It's well known that for someone to be found guilty of a crime, the decision-maker must be persuaded "beyond a reasonable doubt". This is the standard of proof. In civil claims, the standard is "on the balance of probabilities".
In criminal matters, the onus of proving to this standard is on the prosecution; and in civil claims it is on the plaintiff.
In this episode we discuss what all this means in practice, and note that in the majority of all court matters it doesn't reach this stage because the defendant pleads guilty or the civil claim is settled without trial.
This is said to be different in civil code systems such as France, but although there are major differences in procedure, the required standard actually seems to be similar.
We promise to give listeners our opinion on which system is better - in episode 1000!
