Since when has the burden of proof been with the accused? Do either of these women have evidence other than their own testimony?

- teaspoon 15y agoThe burden of proof is on the accusers, but "not proven" is a long way off from "clearly false".
- cperciva 15y agoMen accused of sexual offences have been presumed guilty until proven innocent for the past two decades. Didn't you get the memo?
- william42 15y agoAnd that's why so many of them have gone to jail recently...oh wait.
- tsotha 15y agoNot sure what you're trying to say there. Men go to jail on all the time purely on the strength of the victim's testimony. Seems like every week I'm reading a story in the newspaper about a guy who got released from jail after being cleared by a DNA test.
