Why is conviction easier to obtain In a civil case than in a criminal case?
Conviction is generally easier to obtain in a civil case than in a criminal case because the burden of proof is lower in civil cases. In civil cases, the plaintiff only needs to prove their case by a preponderance of the evidence, which means that it is more likely than not that their claim is true. On the other hand, in criminal cases, the prosecution must prove the defendant's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, which is a higher standard of proof that can be more challenging to meet.
