The prosecution must prove the offence beyond reasonable doubt in a criminal prosecution.

The claimant. Coz' the claimant is the one making a claim. Once they have satisfied the burden, depending on the evidence and how the case unfolds, the burden of proof will shift to the defendant.

innocent until proven guilty.

prosecution. You are innocent until they prove you guilty, then if you are a thug you might get out of prison, if you are an honest tax paying law abiding citizen they might keep you in, especially if you happen to have hurt a burglar caught stealing in your home. BTW, the burger will have a state paid lawyer to fight you, you might have to pay out of your own pockets.

The prosecution has the burden of proof.
