The following excerpt is from U.S. v. Keiser, 57 F.3d 847 (9th Cir. 1995):
4 The court was proper to shift the burden on self-defense. Once a defendant has introduced evidence of self-defense, the burden shifts to the government to disprove it beyond a reasonable doubt. See United States v. Jackson, 726 F.2d 1466, 1469 (9th Cir.1984).
