Philadelphia Criminal Defense Attorney
In all criminal trials the government has the burden of proving their case beyond a reasonable doubt. A reasonable doubt is the highest legal standard under the law. It is the sort of doubt that would cause one to pause in coming to a major life decision. It is a very high standard indeed. However, if you plead guilty the government does not have to meet this standard. Instead you concede that you committed the crime and the burden is not challenged. Over 80% of criminal trials result in guilty pleas. If many of the defendants in those cases challenged the evidence against them, they may have walked out of court without a penalty or a criminal record.
