Question: Identify the correct statement about the trial and appeal process. Attorneys do not make any arguments during the opening statement; they simply lay out what jurors can expect from the trial ahead. The side calling the witness in a trial conducts a cross-examination, while the opposing side conducts a direct examination. A party can make a for cause challenge against a juror, without giving any reason for the challenge. Once the prosecution rests its case, the defendant may make a motion for a directed verdict, which can be made only during the trial after the jury returns a verdict. The burden of proof in a criminal case is "preponderance of evidence," while the burden of proof in a civil case is "beyond a reasonable doubt."
