incorrect it is on the defense

The burden of proof is on the prosecutor for criminal cases, and the defendant is presumed innocent. If the claimant fails to discharge the burden of proof to prove their case, the claim will be dismissed.

even wikipedia has it wrong

in the United States it is on the defense to pay for and to provide evidence because the prosecutor makes up anything they want along with whatever the jackboots in the case states happens with the judge going along with it in complicity and the defendant is presumed guilty throughout the entire process and even if the defendant proves their innocence the claim may not be dismissed

been an issue since farmers started using nitrates and it continues to flow downstream to other states and on out to the Gulf of Mexico

none of our paid off political leaders give any shits
