Not initially. Initially, the prosecutor bringing charges against the defendant has the burden of proving the defendant’s guilt beyond a reasonable doubt. There are instances when the burden of proof can shift to the defendant. For example, the defendant may have committed the alleged crime, but may present an affirmative defense (I.e., self defense, insanity, necessity). At this point, the defendant has the burden of proving the affirmative defense by a preponderance of the evidence (the fact in question is more likely than not to be true), clear and convincing evidence or another evidentiary standard depending on the jurisdiction and the affirmative defense.

Answer:

Civil law refers to law governing disputes between private parties. In civil cases, the plaintiff sues the defendant to obtain compensation for some wrong that the defendant has allegedly done the plaintiff.Criminal Law

It’s a crime to make unauthorized and harmful physical contact with another person (battery). In fact, it’s a crime even to threaten such contact (assault). Criminal law prohibits and punishes wrongful conduct, such as assault and battery, murder, robbery, extortion, and fraud.

A water pipe bursts, flooding a General Business Company (GBC) utility room and tripping the circuit breakers on a panel in the

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

As a licensed electrician of 10 years Hal should be aware of the risks associated with his job. Now, I'll tell you of all of the mistakes and unnecessary risks that made by Hal. First, seeing a there was no mention of a plumber, I'm going to assume that the utility room is still flooded. If it is not still flooded then ignore this and move on to my next point, but if it is then I would just like to say that as a man with 10 years of experience, he should be aware of the fact that water conducts electricity. Second, even if the electrocution didn't involve the water, as a professional he should be competent enough to wear proper safety equipment. And finally, if I was GBC I would hire another electrician to point out every mistake made and how the entire thing could have been avoided if Hal hadn't decided to cut corners.

I hope that helps! :)

Answer:

Wheel - Steering

Brake Pedal - Stop

Gas Pedal - Go

Transmission - Shifting gears

Some cars have weird stuff, like overdrive buttons on the gear lever or magic buttons that let you remove the ignition key. Besides, "vehicle" is rather broad. That would include excavators and horse-drawn carriages.

Also, you could just read the handbook of your car, it tells you all the functions of everything and how to use everything in the safest way possible.
