In what respect is my answer insufficient?

In what respect is my answer insufficient?

You interpret the law. You did not write it. For that fact I would like the opportunity to construe my own position.

I also bring to your attention your disclaimer

 

[Tim W]

There is no mechanism to provide for cross-claims,
counter-claims, or any comparable action
in the course of a criminal prosecution.

If there was, then there would be legislation to which I would refer you.
But because there isn't, there isn't.

 

[Rod]

People will sometimes initiate a separate civil case after a criminal trial as counterclaims are not possible during criminal trials.

 

[Tim W]

In which case, it's a principal claim, not a cross-claim.
