State of Tennessee v. Richard Crawford - Dissenting

Case Number
W2000-00335-CCA-R3-CD

Our law provides: “A person charged with an offense has no burden to prove his innocence.”  TENN.CODE ANN.§39-11-201(c). Because I am unable to disregard this most basic principle of law, I am also unable to affirm the judgment of conviction in this case.
