"Benefit of the Doubt"

What does it mean when people say 'I'll give you the benefit of the doubt'? I've heard it so many times and have a slight hint or gist of appreciation of what it might mean from the context but could never fully understand it in simple words. Please explain, thanks!

It means "I'll accept what you say as being true even though I still have some doubts."
