Answer:
The clause beyond reasonable doubt simply means that there is enough evidence to convince the judge that you have committed the act or in other word, the crime.
That is the standard which must be met for conviction of a defendant in a criminal trial. Notice that the standard is not, "beyond ALL doubt," - only beyond REASONABLE doubt.
REASONABLE DOUBT - The level of certainty a juror must have to find a defendant guilty of a crime. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt, therefore, is proof of such a convincing character that you would be willing to rely and act upon it without hesitation in the most important of your own affairs. However, it does not mean beyond ALL doubt.
