      I’m not going to give you law school, but specific motions and procedural shit logically require presumption of guilt.

        Positive defense, like in the case of homicide (killing someone) in self defense? Where the defendant admits to the homicide and then must prove it was justified according to lethal force laws in the jurisdiction.
