Answer to Question 1

The burden of proof falls upon the plaintiff. In a civil case, the plaintiff must prove
(1) that a civil wrong was committed and (2) that a preponderance of the evidence shows that the defendant is liable for that wrong. In a criminal case, the prosecutor must prove (1) that a crime was committed and (2) that the evidence shows that the defendant is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. The civil standard of a preponderance of the evidence is a lesser standard of proof.

Answer to Question 2
