KG can back me on this as our resident lawyer but beyond a reasonable doubt applies to defenses too.

Not sure what you mean (I’m not watching, just following here and via twitter/texts). But generally reasonable doubt is the standard of proof for the prosecution in criminal trials. The defense usually doesn’t need to reach that standard, they typically just have to poke holes in the prosecution’s case - it may apply, in certain circumstances when dealing with affirmative defenses, but I don’t do criminal law so I’m not sure.
