Abstract
The above discussion brings out very clearly the two extreme opportunities in the process of bringing an accused to justice. The interest of the prosecutor lies in getting the accused convicted. The accused views himself as the victim of the procedure and tries to take advantage of the protections that are integral in any trial procedure. Both sides put forth a specific point of view, which rendering to each is the only way of looking at things. Both sides depend significantly on one benchmark - adducing evidence with respect to either exculpation or inculpation. The question that we are concerned with is who has the burden of proof? i.e. who ought merely to allege and who ought to deny or affirm by addcing evidence?
