Not if I'm on the jury.
- Tomte 11y agoSince the roles of plaintiff and defendant in civil cases are somewhat arbitrary (they mostly depend on procedural and strategic issues) and could just as easily be reversed, it's easy to see that a burden of proof that is too onerous would simultaneously be much too light.
- graycat 11y agoCute attempt at an exploitation of symmetry. But, IANAL, just find for the defendant and, thus, essentially dismiss the case.
