Inside the telescope, light first reaches a primary lens. Primary lenses are convex â rounded â and are able to bend the captured light and aim it onto a secondary, focusing lens. This second lens is then responsible for focusing that light to produce a clear image of the object.
In a criminal trial, the burden of proof is always on the prosecution, as the defendant is presumed innocent. If the prosecution fails to prove guilt, the defendant does not need to prove anything.
