vidence presented at trial, there was reasonable doubt as to the defendant's guilt. This means that the judge believed that there was not enough evidence to support a conviction beyond a reasonable doubt, and therefore overturned the original verdict. The defendant may be retried or the case may be dismissed, depending on the specific circumstances.
