把人往好处想
他们除了疑心之外无法证明是他干的，所以你是不可随便断定就是他。

假定他是无辜的
上面 Xianjun 给出的译法是可以接收的。这句话很难直译。意译则可根据语境酌情处理。例如“假定他是无辜的”、“不要对他妄下论断”，等等。
这句话是从西方法制的基本精神中引申出来的。这里的 doubt 不是指“他们”对“他”的怀疑，而是逻辑上可能提出的对他们的指控的疑问。在西方的法律制度中，证明犯罪嫌疑人有罪是控方的责任。控方必须提出无可怀疑的证据，来证明犯罪嫌疑人有罪。如果被告一方对控方的证据提出合理的疑问，那么控方的指控就不能成立，就得宣判被告无罪。就是说，被告方无需证明自己无罪，只需对控方的证据提出合理怀疑，就足获得无罪判决，这就是 the benefit of the doubt。尽管这样比较容易放过坏人，但不容易冤枉好人。

(不大相信但仍)承认某人说实话
Here is the common meaning:

按有利于他（被告人）的结果来处理
疑罪是指司法机关对被告人是否犯罪或罪行轻重难以确证的情况。“疑罪从无”原则是现代刑法“有利被告人”思想的体现，是无罪推定原则的具体内容之一。诉讼过程中，先推定被告人无罪；要证明其犯罪，必须有确实、充分的证据，否则要按有利于被告人的结果来处理。具体到疑罪，则应作出无罪判决。
