In a civil case, the burden of proof on the plaintiff is much lower than the burden of proof on the prosecutor in a criminal case. The burden in a criminal case is beyond a reasonable doubt while in a civil case the burden is preponderance of the evidence in most cases. Also, in a criminal case, the jury's finding must be unanimous, but in a civil case, the finding is a majority of the jurors. Addition: the rules of evidence (including the rules against hearsay) apply to BOTH civil and criminal trials. Hearsay is not allowed in a civil trial either. Source(s):

It is the most widely distributed member of the genus Pseudocolus and has been found in the United States, Australia, Japan, Java, and the Philippines. It is commonly known as the stinky squid, because of its fetid odor, and its three or four upright 'arms' which are connected at the top.
