Translate the passage into English.
In some countries in the West, there is a principle guiding a criminal court: The court must prove the
accused person's guilt beyond reasonable doubt. In other words, the accused is held innocent until proved
guilty. Reasonable doubt refers to the doubt that could arise in the mind of an ordinary, impartial, honest,
reasonable and cautious person with reference to the accused's guilt.
In theory, the concept of holding the accused innocent until proved guilty makes sure that a case is not
misjudged and that an innocent person is not unjustly treated. In the one-act play Twelve Angry Men, Juror
No. 8 uses this concept to save the boy's life. He raises one reasonable doubt after another until the other
jurors agree that there is no evidence to prove that the boy is guilty.
However, in many other cases, this practice may also help criminals to escape punishments. If a criminal
is very rich, he can hire very competent lawyers to defend him. If his lawyers are experienced and steeped
in the law, and ready to defend anyone for money, it wouldn't be too difficult for them to pick holes in the
testimony of the witnesses and raise "reasonable" doubts. Moreover, a lawyer is trained to ignore questions of
right and wrong, guilt or innocence, and try to find ways to keep his client out of court and out of jail.
