The only burden of proof, is that you have to convince a jury that the defendant IS. in fact, insane, and therefore, not responsible for their actions.

The burden of proof in a legal case refers to the responsibility of the party making a claim to provide enough evidence to convince the court of the truth of their claim.

In a criminal case, the burden of proof is higher because the defendant's liberty is at stake, and the consequences of a guilty verdict are more severe, often resulting in imprisonment. In contrast, in a civil case, the burden of proof is lower because the consequences typically involve financial compensation or other remedies, rather than loss of freedom.
In civil cases, the burden of proof is the responsibility of the plaintiff to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence, meaning it is more likely than not that their claims are true.
