How do you prove that a person is not guilty?
If a person is accused of a crime, the state has the burden of proving that the person is guilty. The person can present evidence to negate the evidence provided by the state. The particular evidence to establish that a person is innocent depends on the crime being charged, and the facts surrounding. Probably the most common method of doing this is to provide alibi evidence. That is, to prove that the defendant could not possibly have committed the crime, because they were elsewhere at the time. If the defendant wishes to assert this evidence, he will probably call a witness that was present with him, and have this person testify about being with the defendant during the time of the crime.
