Commonwe alth 's At t or n ey
�INSTRUCTION NO. ____1__ .
The Court instructs the jury that in all
criminal cases the defendant's plea of not guilty
raises a presumption of innocence in his favor, which
it is the duty of the Commonwealth, before it can ask
for a conviction, to overcome by evidence which establishes the guilt of the accused beyond every reasonable
doubt, therefore if the jury after hearing the whole
case entertain any reasonable doubt as to the guilt of
the accused, it is their duty to find him not guilty;
and the Court further tells the Jury that a reasonable
doubt is that state of the ca s e wh ich after comparison
and consideration of all the evidence, leaves the minds
of the jurors in such condition that they cannot say
that they feel an abiding conviction to a moral certainty
of the truth of the charge.

1.
rhe Court in s tructs the jury that in all
crimi nal cases the defendant 's plea of not gu ilty raises
a presumpt ion of innocence in his f var , which it is the
duty of the
ommonwealth , before it can ask for a conviction ,
to overcome by evidence which establishes
he guilt of the
accused beyond every re sonab l e doubt , therefore if the jury
after hea ring t e wh ole case entertain any reasonable doubt
as to the guilt of t he
caused , it is t he ir du ty to f ind h i m
no t guil ty ; and t h e eourt further
ell s the jury th t a rea-
sonab le doubt is that s ta t e of t h e case which
fer co mpar ison
and consid eration of all 1re evidence, leaves the mind s of the
juro rs in such condition that they c annot say t hat they f ee l

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.
