What is the test for the doctrine of reasonable doubt?

There is no basis whatever for defendant's suggestion that the trial court did not give him the benefit of the doctrine of reasonable doubt. In his comments at the conclusion of the evidence, the trial court pointed out that 'the defendant is entitled to the benefit of the doubt * * *' Implicit in the trial judge's finding that defendant was guilty as charged is his determination that defendant's guilt was established beyond a reasonable doubt. As stated in People v. Dragoo, 121 Cal.App.2d 322, p. 324, 263 P.2d 90, p. 91: 'It is the trier of fact which must be persuaded beyond a reasonable doubt of the guilt of the defendant.'
