Answer:

Criminal law "must must yield a unanimous verdict."

Step-by-step explanation:

Civil law refers to a body of law protecting individual rights. It handles disagreement between people, or organizations.

Criminal law deals with crimes commited against the state or federal government by an individual who breaks a criminal law.

Most civil cases don't make it to trial and are settled outside the courts.

A criminal case on the other hand, requires a unanimous verdict from the jury and sentencing by the judge. Anyone who commits a crime is at the mercy of the court.
