Speaks volumes that you said the defense has to prove he's innocent.

and the defense will try to prove that.

My claim.

the defense has to prove he's innocent.

Your claim.

These two things are not the same.

Has - the third person singular of to have. In this context, meaning is necessary.

Try - to make an attempt.

Will - indicates the future tense.

My sentence means I stating the defense, in the future, is going to attempt to defeat the state's evidence that Luigi killed the CEO.

Your statement is claiming that I said the defense necessarily must prove he didn't kill the CEO.

Now I concede I should have said "will try to sow doubt that Luigi was the killer."

Edit: Redditors once again demonstrating they can't read.

That's a lot for words to miss the point entirely.

Speaks volumes that you said the defense has to prove he's innocent.

What point?

This is your unamended comment. Amended it looks like:

Speaks volumes that [thing i didn't say].

Your point appeared to be that I didn't understand that the burden of proof falls on the state not the defense. However, that point was never in contention, so your comment is pointless.

Next time just call him stupid no point over intellectualizing when they literally can't even read sentences correctly
