    How does burden of proof conflict with the presumption of innocence
    EVIDENCE LAW: hi I wanted to know the circumstances in which the defendant may have to prove his innocence in a criminal case? Is there any protection for the accused under the human right act article 6? Thank you for answering the question. Very much appreciated.
