In a high-profile trial involving former President Donald Trump, Judge Juan Merchan delivered a crucial instruction to the jurors. The judge emphasized that the burden of proof lies with the prosecutors, who must demonstrate Trump's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
During the court proceedings, Judge Merchan reminded the jurors of their duty to uphold the principle of 'innocent until proven guilty.' He made it clear that if the prosecution fails to meet the high standard of proof required in criminal cases, the jurors must find the defendant not guilty.
