Depends on the type of trial, criminal or civl, the burden of proof is higher in a criminal case than a civil case; in a criminal case must prove case beyond a reasonable doubt; if civil, by the pre-ponderance of the evidence.
Depending on what is asked for in the Court filings and the State where the Claim has been filed. if the Plaintiff does not meet their burden of proof in their suit and are countersued for attorney fees and expenses, they may be required by law to pay those fees and expenses if deemed so by the Court.

the other side moves for a Judgement as a matter of law and if the side with the burden has not met the burden the judge grants the motion and dismisses the case.

The defense can ask the judge to make a directed verdict stating that the prosecution did not make it's case and therefore the defendent is Not Guilty.

Somebody planted a small quantity of cocaine in my luggage shortly before I left Jamaica and on arrival back in London I was charged with "being KNOWINGLY in the importation ...." I knew nothing about any cocaine and was therefore totally innocent of the charge - but how does one prove it. I spent 5.5 years in prison for something I knew nothing about

If they don't prove their case then they lose the case.
