Although a description of the case was not provided for this question, we can confirm that as a member of the jury, when deciding guilt, you should hold the prosecution to the burden of proof.

<h3>What we know about the burden of proof.</h3>
  • In any criminal case, the prosecution carries the burden of proof.
  • The prosecution must prove the guilt of the defendant beyond a reasonable doubt.
  • When acting as a member of the jury, you should hold your decision to this standard.
  • You should only vote guilty if there are no logical doubts present as to the arguments presented by the prosecution.

Therefore, we can confirm that when acting as a jury member, you should base your decision on the prosecution's ability to prove guilt beyond any reasonable doubt.

What do candidate centered elections look like?
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

Elections centered on candidates and not on political parties have characteristics that make them particular and give them their own imprint. Thus, these elections are based not on general political platforms but on particular ideologies, which develop personalisms and political positions that are dangerous at times, given that they do not have the support (or responsibility) of organized groups such as political parties behind them.

In other cases, these types of elections have political parties actively participating and supporting each of the candidates, as was the case in the 2016 elections in the United States between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, but even so, the candidates end having a greater predominance than that of the political parties.
