Well, they have the burden to prove guilt in order to take a life.
No logical reason they would not have the burden in all the other parts.
No, they deem it not a person and then don’t have to pove ANYTHING. It’s logically absurd to start with a default that it IS a person and forcing the other side to prove it is not.
....and you’re not talking the State taking a life as punishment for a crime anyway....and if you go to “what about tax $$$ being used”......then I take away the tax $$$$.
