Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! The topic of today's "Listen and Learn" episode is Criminal Procedure. Specifically, we're talking about a few topics related to the prosecution of a criminal trial: burden of proof, presumptions, and sufficiency of the evidence.

In this episode, we discuss:

The burden of proof in a criminal case

Rebuttable and irrebuttable presumptions in jury instructions
How do we know whether the prosecution has met its burden?
When can the defendant move for a judgment of acquittal?
