"Once again, the defense was under no burden to prove anything."

Who said they were?

Tioga said they did not put up a defense and I reminded him/her that they had no burden to do that.

Moby Grape did in an earlier post.

“Flawed reasoning. There was NO evidence presented by the defense that she died accidentally, only conjecture. Since when is a “possibility” grounds for reasonable doubt.”

Evidence needs to be provided to prove something; conjecture as to possibilities can be raised and needs no evidence to prove it. The defense doesn't have to prove something happened for the jury to consider it possible.
