Typical Instructions for Jurors on Reasonable Doubt
I found an audio-only “video” on YouTube with a clear, typical jury instruction that defines “reasonable doubt”. This is a recording of the 1994 trial of Jessie Lloyd Misskelley, Jr. (a case I had not heard of but which sounds quite interesting). The relevant portion of the instructions occur between approximately 2 minutes 35 seconds and 3 minutes 40 seconds.
Here are two additional links I found with news reports and transcripts of the Misskelley trial:
