What is the standard of reasonable doubt in a motor vehicle case?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Ortega, B243283 (Cal. App. 2013):
These comments are nothing like the error in People v. Nguyen (1995) 40 Cal.App.4th 28, relied upon by defendant, where the prosecutor argued "that people apply a reasonable doubt standard 'every day' and that it is the same standard people customarily use in deciding whether to change lanes." (Id. at p. 36.) Here, the prosecutor did not comment on the reasonable doubt burden of proof.
