Okay. Is the standard of proof the same though between the prosecution and defense? Since the prosecution has to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, wouldn't the defense just have to raise enough doubt that it was self-defense to get one juror to say not guilty? I thought the only defense where the burden of proof is 100% on the defense is insanity. Other than that, the defense is only required prove something enough to create doubt.

What's your feedback on my perceptions?
