Civil suits involve offenses against society as a whole, prosecuted by the government, with defendants presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Question

true or false

Answer 1

False. Civil suits typically involve disputes between individuals or entities rather than offenses against society as a whole, which are typically addressed in criminal cases. In civil cases, the burden of proof is generally "preponderance of the evidence," not "beyond a reasonable doubt," and defendants are not presumed innocent in the same way as in criminal cases.
