Which of these words is synonymous with 'onus'?

shellawk, EXCUSE ME?!? Millions upon millions of American women have been degraded, demeaned, and humiliated, first by the sleazy act of rape, then again in American courtrooms: Why were you out after dark, Ms. Brave Enough to File Charges? What were you wearing? Just how many men HAVE you had sex with? An absolute travesty that destroyed these women all over again. If you are accused of rape, don't look to me for sympathy. I despise sexual deviants, i.e. rapists and child molesters. I think they should be euthanized upon their first offense.

Lionessa, Reform and rehabilitation is impossible for ANY & ALL sex crimes.

Robinlyne, "Burden of Proof" is the standard in the US Criminal Justice System that demands the Prosecution prove the guilt of the defendant "beyond a reasonable doubt." It's actually a very popular idea, especially among the falsely accused. It is there to protect us from false prosecution. You could say that the Onus of Burden of Proof is borne by the Prosecutor.

Lionessa, so true. because they can not be cured.

Yahmose, Rubbish to one is Treasure to another.

This question was an onus for me. Broke my 20+ correct answer streak. 😢

Robinlyne,well said!
