Within each of these statutes is a definition of the specific crime, along with elements of the offense. A prosecutor has to prove every element of the crime beyond a reasonable doubt, which means if there is any part of the offense that the prosecutor is not able to prove was committed, then the defendant should not be found guilty. The statute also specifies the types of penalties, including the maximum jail or prison term, that could be imposed if you are found guilty of an offense under 18 U.S. Code Chapter 111.
