A defendant whose conviction is reversed because, as a matter of law, the evidence _____, cannot be retried, because the reversal is equivalent to an acquittal.

Respuesta :

Answer:

C). Is insufficient to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Explanation:

A defendant whose conviction has been reversed because the evidence 'proved insufficient to prove the guilt or crime committed by him/her beyond a logical doubt'. Thus, the decision or verdict terminates the double jeopardy and the defendant can not be retried in such a situation as the reversal from the claim would be parallel to an acquittal. Thus, if a case is reversed due to the lack of sufficient evidences as a matter of legal law, the defendant can't be retried.
