Answer: REASONABLE DOUBT.

Explanation: A person cannot be convicted in a criminal case if there is any REASONABLE DOUBT, suggesting that the accused could possibly be innocent.

Reasonable doubt can be defined as a degree of uncertainty to which a reason can be assigned. It is the minimum degree of uncertainty required to acquit a defendant. In the presence of reasonable doubt a person will be acquitted and cannot be convicted.
