satisfaction of the jury

Convincing the jury; removing doubt from the minds of the jurors. To prove a thing to the satisfaction of a jury means that the jury must be satisfied that the thing existed. To satisfy the mind, according to the common notion of mankind, is to free it from doubt, to set it at rest. This is the primary meaning of the word, according to all the lexicographers, when used in this connection. To accomplish this result-to "satisfy" a body of men of the truth of a disputed fact-requires much more than a preponderance of the evidence. Clear and convincing evidence must be adduced in its favor. Kelch v State, 55 Ohio St 146, 45 NE 6.
