Civil trial vs criminal trial?

In a Criminal Trial, you have a Prosecutor and Defendant. The prosecutor's job is to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. In a Civil Trial, you have a Plaintiff and a Defendant. The plaintiff's jog is to present the preponderance of the evidence. Both can be jury trials. The bar is lower for the defendant in the Criminal trial. He can demand a jury trial and get it in most situations. Beyond a reasonable doubt means almost certain. Preponderance of evidence means the evidence on the side of the plaintiff is a whole lot stronger than that on the side of the defendant. Still, what a jury will decide and award one party is frequently simply a guess. It can differ quit a bit from theory.
