You're first paragraph pretty much defines reasonable doubt, you're even saying right there that Stanley should have been acquitted and let go.
I think though that you're a little confused on the definition of rule of law in the second paragraph.
The police and the prosecutor charged him with murder, but that's not the rule of law, that's decided by the courts and the empaneled members of the jury.
