New York Criminal Law Attorney
Ryan Blanch
Criminal Law are laws established by Congress and state legislators that make certain behavior among citizens illegal and punishable by fines and/or imprisonment. In order to be found guilty of a criminal law, the prosecution must prove that the defendant engaged in criminal activity that was intentional and deliberate.
To be found guilty in a criminal proceeding, the state must show beyond a reasonable doubt that you are guilty of the crime charged. Beyond a reasonable doubt is a difficult burden to meet. In a civil case the plaintiff must show by a preponderance of the evidence that the defendant is responsible for any damages. Numerically, a preponderance of the evidence is a showing of a 51% certainty that the defendant is responsible. Beyond a reasonable doubt requires a showing of guilt closer to 100%.
