Explanation:

A good faith defense is used when a person is under legal charges and intentional fraud. this defense doesn't involve an intentional or willingness to defraud since those are essential to finding charges. The burden of proof isn't on the defendant to prove their faith. But the state has to prove that the defendant acted with the specific intent to defraud another party.
