What is the burden of denial?

Question

What is the burden of denial?

Answer 1

not owning up to truth.

Answer 2

regret...eventually.

Answer 3

A claim that something-- usually an accusation-- is not true without any proof or substantiation.

The burden of proof in a court of law has already been established as belonging to the prosecutor. A claim that something is not true is, of course, a more difficult burden to prove because without proof that something is not true then it is easy to point the finger at the accused claiming that their denial is a lie!
