The article discusses how reverse burdens in criminal trials are viewed suspiciously by lawyers. It explores the relationship between these burdens and the presumption of innocence. The existing literature often confuses different aspects of the presumption of innocence, leading to flawed analyses. The article aims to clarify this distinction and provide a new approach to understanding reverse burdens in relation to the presumption of innocence.
