GENERAL CLOSING CHARGE - PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE

[The/Each] defendant is presumed innocent of the crime charged, and the presumption continues unless, after consideration of all the evidence, you are convinced of his/her/(each defendant's) guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. The State has the burden of presenting the evidence that establishes guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

The defendant must be found not guilty unless the State produces evidence which convinces you beyond a reasonable doubt of each element of the crime.
