The correct answer is B) The defendant in a criminal case must be found guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt."

The statement that describes a difference between civil and criminal cases in the legal system is "The defendant in a criminal case must be found guilty "beyond a reasonable doubt."

Another important difference is that criminal law requires breaking laws against harming another individual, while civil law includes disagreements between people and businesses.

In the United States legal system, a criminal trial requires that a jury reviews the evidence presented by the parties. This jury has to decide if the individual is guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. A crime trial usually involves violent aggressions, damages, injuries, and death.

On the other hand, a civil trial involves individuals that did not fulfill a contract, or somebody that owes money to another person, or a car accident.
