Question

When a person is to be prosecuted for committing a criminal offence the burden of proof is on the ___________.

• A. court
• B. police
• C. himself
• D. prosecution

Answer 1

The correct option is D prosecution

Prosecution is the correct answer.

For the most part, the prosecution has the burden of genuiness of each component of an offence past a sensible uncertainty.

In any case, while a defendant isn't required to demonstrate guiltlessness so as to maintain a strategic distance from conviction, the prosecution doesn't need to demonstrate blame to the point of total assurance.

Furthermore, regardless of the general standard that the prosecution bears the burden of verification, there are occasions when the burden moves to the defendant.
