Compare and contrast the penalties in a civil and criminal trial.

In a criminal trial, the penalty can either be jail time for serious things such as murder or arson or similar, or it can be something smaller for things such as breaking and entering or destruction of property. In a civil trial, there is no jail time. The penalties are almost always financial and involve paying a large sum of money to someone else.

Hey friend!

Criminal trials tend to penalty people with jail time

Civil trials tend to fine for offense
