You don't have to prove your innocence; innocence is assumed. The prosecution has to prove you guilty, and inform the defense of all the evidence that they have. If they have evidence that exonerates you, they would be stupid to even bring a case to trial as it would be a waste of everyone's time.

We live in a world where, routinely, police plant evidence and prosecutors fail to bring forth exonerating evidence. They don't have to be stupid when they are being deceptive.

Search "Brady violation" on youtube for some examples.

		Of course. Our entire concept of government relies on everyone acting in good faith, even with checks and balances. Reality is often messier.
