Shifting the Burden

The new law allows the modified self-defense law to be applied retroactively to Fish's case, as well as to any others filed after April 24, 2006, as long as the defendant did not plead guilty or no contest. [More]

What if the facts of the case apply, and the person pleaded no contest because they couldn't afford the legal fight?

And since when has the burden NOT been on the prosecution to prove a crime...?
