““Strictly speaking, the burden of proof is never on the defendant „to establish his innocence, or to disprove the facts necessary to establish the crime of which he is charged; in all criminal cases, if the evidence, any or all of it, after considering'all, raises in the mind of the jury a reasonable doubt as to his guilt, he should be acquitted.””
1 later decision quote this exact passage“Conviction of a lesser degree of crime than that charged in the indictment, under our law, is an acquittal of the charge of the higher degree of the same offense, though the judgment of conviction of the lesser offense be reversed on appeal.”
