I'm not a lawyer. If you need legal advice, ask pornlaw.
In the US, the rule of thumb is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. In other words, the prosecution is required and has the burden of proof to show prima facie evidence that a defendant is guilty. If they do, the burden of proof then shifts to the defendant to prove their innocence.
