Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The attorneys make closing arguments that sum up a case. Normally the defendant's attorney goes first. This gives the plaintiff, who has the burden of proof, the last word. The burden of proof for a criminal case is different from that for a civil case. In a criminal case the state, as plaintiff, must convince the fact finder-jury or judge-beyond a reasonable doubt of the defendant's guilt.
