attorney for the petitioner shall be given a copy of the petition, and any supporting documents. \u2002The hearing shall be a civil hearing; \u2009however, in order to reduce costs, the rules of criminal discovery, as well as civil discovery, shall be applicable. \u2002The standard of proof shall be beyond a reasonable doubt, and if the trial is by jury, the jury shall be unanimous in its
