Answer 1

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Rosa, who operates a Street Tacos restaurant in her apartment, is charged with criminal violations of the local health and building codes, state license regulations, and federal environmental statutes. To obtain a conviction, the prosecution must

a. persuade three-fourths of the jurors to agree on a guilty verdict.   b. show the evidence as reasonably permitting a guilty verdict.  c. convince the court it is more likely than not that the charges are true  d. prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Rosa committed every essential element of an offense."

Answer:

b. show the evidence as reasonably permitting a guilty verdict.  

Explanation:

When convicting someone for the practice of a criminal offense, the judge imposes the penal sanction that the law provides: penalties of imprisonment, detention, simple imprisonment, restrictive rights and a fine. This conviction has other effects, both criminal and extra-penal. However, for a conviction to be carried out, the judge must reach a conclusion that the defendant is guilty. In order to reach this conclusion, it is necessary to show evidence that proves that the defendant is acting in disagreement with the law and therefore should be punished.

In the case shown in the question, for Rosa to receive a sentence, the charge imposed on her must show evidence as reasonably allowing a guilty verdict.
