Original Note:
In criminal trials, the government must prove every element of the crime "beyond a reasonable doubt". The defense does not have to put forward an alternate theory or even a case at all, although those can certainly help keep the government from meeting the standard. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reasonable_doubt
