The burden of proof is on the prosecutor. They must prove beyond reasonable doubt that the accused is guilty. The defense only needs to raise reasonable doubt about the defendant's guilt. If jurors believe the defendant may have committed the crime, but have reasonable doubt then they must find the defendant not guilty.
