If Jeremy used the credit cards, he could be sued by the credit card holders in a civil case. Describe what would happen in a civil case.

Solution

Civil case :

If Jeremy used the credit cards, he could be sued by the credit card holders in a civil case.

The opposing lawyer would try to prove to a panel of 8 jurors that he did indeed steal the cards and use them.

If at least 6 of the 8 jurors determine he did, then he would have to pay the cardholders back for the charges

he put on the card. If 6 of the 8 jurors determine he didn\'t do it, then the case is dropped. If it\'s somewhere in

the middle, then it\'s a hung jury and there would be a retrial.
