The Burden of Persuasion lies with the Defense. Burden of Proof lies with the Prosecution.
Prosecutors have the "burden of proof" and must convince a jury that, beyond all reasonable doubt, a person committed a crime or intended on committing a crime. (Conspiracy to commit murder, robbery, arson, etc. etc.)
The Defense attorneys must do the exact opposite, proving that their client is innocent and could not have ever committed any heinous acts, or any crimes.
