\
3efore the jury can convict the accused
they must be
sat isfied from the evidence that he is guilty of the offence
a s ch ar ged in the indi ctment beyond all reasonable doubt.
It
i s not suffic i ent that they shoul d believe his guilt pr obable only,
or more probable than his innocence .
No degree of probabili ty
merely will authorize a conviction , but t he evidence must be
of such a character and tendency a s t o produce a moral cert ainty
of t h e p rison er' s guilt , to t h e exclusion of reasonabl e doubt .
��INSTRU , TION NO.
-----•
The court instructs the jury that the law presumes
every person charged with crime, to be innocent until his gnilt
is established by the Commonvrnal th b e;7ond a reasonable doubt,
a nd this presumption of innocence goes with the prisoner through
t he entire case and applies to every stage thereof;
�INSTRUCTION
no.
•
Every man in the eye of the l aw is innoc ent until
h e i s :proved guilty ; and not only i s th e ·ourden of p:;:·oving the
guilt of a pe r son charge d with crime , on the Comrnonwealth,
but to warra nt a convi ction his guilt must be proved to the
eJcclu sion of every reasonab.1.e hypot hesis consi sten t with his
innoce nce. Circum stance s of mere suspic ion are not suffic ient,
in other words , the rule as often stated is , that before the
jury can convi ct, t hey must be satisf ied, n ot only that the circumst ances are consi stent with t h e prison er having comm itted the
crime charge d , but they mu.st also be satisf ied that the f a cts

Rockingham County Prohibition Records: Criminal Cases
Description
An account of the resource
The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.

The first series of the Prohibition Records collection consists of all criminal case records associated with cases brought to the <strong>Rockingham County Circuit Court</strong> from 1916-1964. Not every individual was indicted for a criminal offense and many were simply judged as misdemeanors. The cases have been separated and arranged by the last name of the defendant. <br /><br />For more information on the Prohibition collection, visit the "<a href="https://omeka.lib.jmu.edu/erp/findingaids">Finding Aids</a>" tab in the menu above.
