Criminal charges in a civil complaint?
There is no such thing as mixing civil and criminal actions in the same court action. If criminal charges arise as a result of a civil case action they will be charged and prosecuted seperately from the civil trial.
What is the difference between civil and criminal trials?
Both trials have a judge and/or a jury as triers of fact. In a criminal trial it is the government, known as a prosecutor, that is actually "suing" the defendant, but instead of for money, it's for that person's freedom for the prescribed time the government wants that person incarcerated. If the prosecutor wins this case the defendant is considered to have been found guilty of criminal charges brought before him. A civil case, on the other hand, is one in which an individual person or an entity is suing you for money. Civil cases are not punishable by any type of incarceration or fines. If the "prosecutor" in a civil trial wins the case, then the defendant is found to be liable in the amount that is awarded. In both types of trials, the persons or entities bringing the case to trial are known as the plaintiff, and the opponents are known as defendants.
