In common law jurisdictions, an acquittal means that the criminal prosecution has failed to prove that the accused is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the charge presented. It certifies that the accused is free from the charge of an offense, as far as criminal law is concerned.
(a) Before Submission to the Jury. After the government closes its evidence or after the close of all the evidence, the court on the defendants motion must enter a judgment of acquittal of any offense for which the evidence is insufficient to sustain a conviction.
A motion for a judgment of acquittal can be granted only if no reasonable jury could find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant committed the crime charged. This essentially means that the prosecutions evidence is too weak to support a conviction, viewing it as generously as possible.
Do You Know These 6 Reasons for Acquittal? Lack of evidence. Police misconduct, such as mishandling evidence. Improper arrest procedure or reading of rights. A finding of insanity of the alleged perpetrator. Determination that the alleged offender is not competent to stand trial. Mistrial.
Unless accepted, an offer of judgment shall remain confidential between the offeror and offeree. If the adverse party, within ten days after service, serves written notice that the offer is accepted, either party may move for judgment on the offer. The court shall grant such judgment on the motion of either party.
