So, if the state claims you committed a murder, do you share an equal burden to prove you're innocent? No, because you're not making the positive claim.

Apparently neither of you actually understands the burden of proof.
You can look it up if you like... but the burden of proof is on the one making the claim. Any claim; it’s up to the making it to support it. .
Now if you are not making any claims except for your own mental state, then you have no burden of proof for that.
