Selon le juge du procès, il est tout à fait clair que le ministère public a prouvé ses prétentions et que l'histoire présentée par le défendeur est tout à fait invraisemblable. L'analyse sur l'inférence défavorable est, pour l'essentiel, faite après coup. Il n'est donc pas nécessaire de traiter de la question d'une inférence défavorable pouvant être tirée du fait de ne pas avoir présenté une preuve. 1, record 1, French, - inf%C3%A9rence%20d%C3%A9favorable
