California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from People v. Cutshall, A149809 (Cal. App. 2018):
The prosecution has the burden of proving each element of a charged offense beyond a reasonable doubt. (Victor v. Nebraska (1994) 511 U.S. 1, 5.) However, the constitution "does not require that any particular form of words be used in advising the jury of the government's burden of proof." (Ibid.)
