ORIGINAL: CHF73 Well when you have to prove "beyond any reasonable doubt" something only he was present to and survived to tell, it doesn't matter how much money the State spent...he still has the advantage. And in this case, at least one of the jurors has spoken out, and it was clear to her anyways that the defense proved George's innocence. Uh, no. Not the defense's place to prove anything. The prosecution failed to prove his guilt, at least beyond a reasonable doubt. They bore the burden of proof. Exactly! The problem is not what the defense proved (in fact they didn't have or haven't proved anything...) it's just what the prosecutor haven't proved. Is well known since the roman law that proving something happened is way more difficult then simply deny it ever happened. That's also the reason why at times, but only in civil law, there are presumptions: to avoid people having to prove soemthing that is extremely hard or almost impossible to prove and, non the less, true.
