Denial: insufficient proof You are innocent until proven guilty. It is the prosecutor’s job to prove you guilty. The prosecutor must show sufficient proof that: 1. You acted according to your own free will. 2. You had criminal intent. You were criminally negligent. You had the specific skill/knowledge necessary to commit the crime. 3. Your act resulted in the ultimate harm. You directly caused it. 4. You failed a legal obligation. You need to create a reasonable doubt in the evidence for these. If there is insufficient proof then you can request that the court either judges you innocent or dismisses the charges.
