Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The case is a civil case, not a criminal case, as it is a dispute between two parties rather than a crime committed against society. Civil cases in the United States are typically tried by a jury of 6-8 members, therefore D is the correct answer. A unanimous verdict is not always required in civil cases, so option E is incorrect. Options A and B are also incorrect as they refer to criminal cases, while option C is a general statement that does not specifically address the case.
