D. government
In criminal cases, the burden of proof is often on the prosecutor. The principle that it should be is known as the presumption of innocence, but is not upheld in all legal systems or jurisdictions. Where it is upheld, the accused will be found innocent if a valid case is not presented. (Note: in US, the prosecutor works for the District Attorneys office, which works for the State -- or in major cases, Federal -- government).

In a criminal case the burden of proof is always on the prosecution.
That's an odd question and answer set. Since the government usually takes over in a criminal case. That's why it's usually, "The state of whatever vs. whomever" So you could say it's the plaintiff or the government. I'd go with "D" Government.
Did I get it right?

The burden of proof is always placed on the moving party. In a civil case this would be the plaintiff, but since this is a criminal case, there is no plaintiff, so the government is the moving party. D.

The Burden of Proof is ALWAYS on the Prosecution to PROVE that the Defendant committed the crime beyond a reasonable doubt - not any doubt, or all doubt - a REASONABLE doubt.
Watch "Twelve Angry Men" - Henry Fonda, Lee J. Cobb - the original in black and white.

The burden is always placed on the plaintiff in civil or the prosecution in criminal courts.

B or D - The Plaintiff would often be the government I gues so both would be right.
