No. Common sense should tell you why.Can Criminal and civil cases ever be combined and tried together? Why/Why not?
It doubtful as there are different levels of proof needed. It take a greater level of proof to find someone guilty in a criminal trial.
Nope. Two different areas of law. Same with family/divorce law.
No. A crime is an infraction of a state law. So the court hears an argument between the two parties, the state and the person who is charged with the crime. A civil action is a disagreement between two citizens; they've decided to ask the court to intervene INSTEAD of resorting to criminal offenses against each other(hence the name). Two totally separate concepts. In fact, the court tries to keep them separated very distinctly.
