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. Below is the burden of proof in a criminal case: The Highest Standard: Beyond a Reasonable Doubt â A much higher burden than preponderance of evidence. The standard is that there is a great likelihood the accused committed the crime.
That is, to prove or disprove a disputed fact. In a criminal trial the burden is exclusively on the prosecution (unless the defense is alleging an affirmative defense like insanity.) However, in a civil trial the burden is initially on the plaintiff and may shift to the defendant.
