What are you talking about? The state is not trying to prove Larry Craig is a homosexual. There has been no evidence presented in court to prove that. Why? Because the state has already found him guilty of a crime. The crime the state charged him with has already been proved. How? Craig admitted to it. It’s a done deal. Craig has already tried to appeal it and has lost. He says he will keep trying. Why? He needs to give it up. He admitted his guilt, his appeal has been rejected. Game, set, match it’s over. The only one hanging on in some vain attempt to regain his reputation is Craig.

The State has no burden to prove anything. Larry Craig had his days in court. He lost. Now after doing everything wrong, he needs to man up and do what is right. But then again, he does seem to have a problem with being a man.

Know much about law, do you? Larry Craig's confession was evidence of his guilt, evidence that the state advanced to establish its case. Without that evidence, the state may or may not have been able to prove the charges against Craig. But in any case, the state not only DOES have to prove something, it has an ABSOLUTE burden to prove it! That Craig made it easier by confessing doesn't change the requirement.
