ok
criminal trial = beyond a resonable boubt.
civil trial = perponderance of evidence. this means one peice of evidence means the difference between guilty and not guilty.
the standard is vastly different.
and he wasn't found guilty of killing her he was found liable for wrongful death. that means something he did or did not do in some way caused the wrongful death of another. in this case the thing he did was murder that chick! :P HE WAS GUILTY AS SIN!
these are two different crimes in two different court systems. one case if filed on behalf of the ppl of cali. the other is no different than an ip infringement lawsuit filed by that chick's parents.
