California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Nunez, G039753, No. 06CF2684 (Cal. App. 2011):
1509; People v. Rios (2007) 151 Cal.App.4th 1154, 1156-1157.) Other than his general disagreement with the reasoning of these cases, Nunez offers no compelling justification for concluding CALCRIM No. 220 is unconstitutional. We find the reasoning in these cases sound and conclude CALCRIM No. 220 properly defines reasonable doubt.
