Best Answer

There are no general characteristics of defendants. Defendants refer to anyone that is charged with a crime or against whom civil suit is brought.

Defendants can be murderers, doctors, companies, presidents, teachers, children, husbands, wives, musicians, nuns, grocers, states, or anyone else. Any person or incorporation can be a defendant, so there is no common characteristic.

Defendants are individuals or entities being sued in a civil case or accused in a criminal case. They have the right to defend themselves against the claims made by the plaintiff or prosecution. Defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in criminal cases.
