| - In re Winship, 397 U.S. 358 (1970), was a United States Supreme Court decision that held that "the Due Process Clause protects the accused against conviction except upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt of every fact necessary to constitute the crime charged." It established this burden in all cases in all states (constitutional case). The decision did not specify which facts constitute the charged crime. In an opinion authored by Justice Brennan, the Court held that when a juvenile is charged with an act that would be a crime if committed by an adult, every element of the offense must be proved beyond reasonable doubt, not preponderance of the evidence. The case has come to stand for a broader proposition, however: in a criminal prosecution, every essential element of the offense must be proved beyond reasonable doubt. See, e.g., Apprendi v. New Jersey, 530 U.S. 466, 477 (2000); , 508 U.S. 275, 278 (1993). This case marked a rejection of the preponderance of evidence standard in any criminal cases and expanded the protections afforded by the Due Process Clause. (en)

Questa sentenza, emessa su ricorso della difesa di Samuel Winship, un dodicenne accusato di aver rubato 112 dollari dal portafogli di una donna, è stata il primo gradino per la creazione del principio più generale secondo cui in ogni processo penale (e quindi anche nel processo a carico di maggiorenni) per poter ritenere l'imputato colpevole ogni elemento essenziale del fatto reato deve essere provato al di là di ogni ragionevole dubbio.
