About this document
Burden of Proof in Wilmington v DPP by Kpendema Hindowa is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The law of evidence establishes that the burden of proof primarily lies with the prosecution, as demonstrated in the case of Wilmington v DPP. However, there are exceptions where the evidential burden shifts to the defense, such as in cases of insanity or diminished responsibility, where the accused must provide evidence to support their claims. Additionally, statutory exceptions, like those found in the Anti Corruption Act 2008, also allow for shifts in the evidential burden to the defense.
