When a defendant finishes introducing evidence, the trial is concluded.​?

This is false. After that part of the trial there comes a rebuttal. That is the part of the case where the plaintiff's attorney presents their own evidence that is supposed to rebuke or counter the evidence presented by the defendant. This can then go on and on indefinitely and is one of the reasons why civil cases last extremely long.
