Criminal evidence is used to prove guilt in criminal cases, like theft or assault, and must be beyond reasonable doubt. Civil evidence helps decide private disputes like divorce or property issues and is based on balance of probabilities. Both types use documents, witnesses, and facts but follow different standards.  For further legal assistance contact us on our helpline number.
