9. Donatoni & Krasta: The Constitution does not require, nor does it prohibit, trial courts from defining reasonable doubt. Further, it does not require courts to use any specific language when instructing a jury regarding the government's burden of proof. However, the Constitution's Due Process Clause prohibits language that would allow an accused to be convicted on less evidence than that required by the "reasonable doubt" standard. In civil trials, for instance, numerous evidentiary issues are held to a lower standard of proof that require a mere preponderance of the evidence, i.e., more likely than not.

Pennsylvania Criminal Law In Pennsylvania criminal law, the suit is initiated by the state or federal government through a prosecutor rather than being initiated by the victim, as it is in civil law. Plaintiffs in a civil law suit only need to show by a preponderance of the evidence that a defendant is 51% or more liable (responsible) for the damages. But, the prosecutor in a criminal law case has to prove to the judge or jury "beyond a reasonable doubt" that the defendant is guilty of the crime charged. Criminal law involves prosecution by the government of a person for an act that has been classified as a crime. Civil cases, on the other hand, involve individuals and organizations seeking to resolve legal disputes. In a criminal case, the state, through a prosecutor, initiates the suit, while in a civil case the victim brings the suit. Persons convicted of a crime may be incarcerated, fined, or both. However, persons found liable in a civil case may only have to give up property or pay money, but are not incarcerated. A "crime" is any act or omission (of an act) in violation of a public law forbidding or commanding it. Though there are some common law crimes, most crimes in the United States are established by local, state, and federal governments. Criminal laws vary significantly from state to state. There is, however, a Model Penal Code (MPC) which serves as a good starting place to gain an understanding of the basic structure of criminal liability. 1. BulletDUI, DRUG OFFENSES, ASSAULT 2.
