“In federal court the prosecution has the burden of disproving self-defense, once the claim has been properly raised...The federal standard is that once a defendant meets the initial burden of producing sufficient evidence for the judge to give a jury instruction on self-defense, the burden shifts to the government to disprove the defense beyond a reasonable doubt.”

It is important to note that “evidence” is not proof. Tawana Browley’s testimony was “evidence”, even though she it was determined that she lied.
