The Defendant does not have to testify, call or question witnesses, or provide any evidence at all, because you must presume he is innocent. Instead, it is up to the Government to prove the charges against the Defendant beyond a reasonable doubt. This burden of proof never shifts to the Defendant."</p><p><a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/Justice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Justice</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.online/tags/PresumptionOfInnocence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PresumptionOfInnocence</span></a></p>
