Criminal trials and civil trials have certain similarities. For example, it would be CORRECT to say that: Select one: Select one: O a. The party that bears the burden of proof happens also to be the party that presents its case and questions its witnesses first. O b. The trials will normally be conducted before a jury. O c. The amount of proof required in either type of case is proof beyond a reasonable doubt. O d. Only the parties themselves (and not their witnesses) will be subject to cross examination
