Taking the defendant's statements and ignoring the witnesses is kinda how I'm looking at it. I don't trust gov't enough for that.
If you insist on a legal analogy, how about "innocent until proven guilty" as opposed to "guilty until corroborated independently"

The burden of proof should be on the one making the accusation of bias....not the other way around.
