it's reasonable doubt, not shadow of a doubt:

Legal Definition of reasonable doubt

a doubt especially about the guilt of a criminal defendant that arises or remains upon fair and thorough consideration of the evidence or lack thereof

all persons are presumed to be innocent and no person may be convicted of an offense unless each element of the offense is proved beyond a reasonable doubt
— Texas Penal Code
