Re: The burden of proof

Assuming your courtroom metaphor is valid in the first place, and stretching it a bit, we are not trying to convict a suspected criminal, which in America places the burden of proof on the plaintiff. We are seeing if a known and habitual criminal is eligible for parole, which places the burden of proof on him.
