The Constitution guarantees that every person who is arrested in the United States is innocent until proven guilty.
What does this mean? At a trial, the Government will have to present evidence to convice a jury of your peers beyond a reasonable doubt that you have committed the crime you are accused of.
The entire burden is on the Government. 100%. You do not have to testify or present any evidence whatsoever if you feel the Government hasn't met its burden.
If the Government doesn't convince the jurors beyond a reasonable doubt, then you will be found not guilty. An experienced criminal defense attorney like Richard A. Stern will argue to the jurors that the burden has not been met by highlighting the inconsistencies in the Government's case, the lack of evidence presented and much more. A strenuous defense is essential to helping jury understand the power of the Constiutional Rights you are protected by, including the fact that you are innocent until proven guilty.
