How would our legal system be different if an accused person had to prove his or her innocence instead of the government having to prove the person's guilt?
If an accused person had to prove their innocence, it would reverse the burden of proof, which is currently on the prosecution. This would likely lead to an increase in wrongful convictions, as it can be challenging for individuals to prove a negative (their innocence). It would also undermine the presumption of innocence, a fundamental principle in our legal system.
