Abstract
This paper considers making use of fuzzy logic in order to apply the standard of proof “beyond any reasonable doubt”. This standard is used in many criminal justice systems on civil and common law. I will suggest the construction of an heuristic rule from the evaluation of epistemic’s generalizations and the relationship between them, related to the essential facts of the case. It will employ the union and conjunction propriety of fuzzy logic.
