Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The district attorney doesn't have to prove that the defendant is beyondba reasonable doubt that they're guilty, they just need lots of evidence that say they are indeed guilty, stuff like Eyewitnesses, DNA, or scars on the defendant like scratches or such (like in a homicide case)
