Yeah, sort of like all thee criminal trials where the person is found
innocent but then they get sued in Civil Court over same issues. Like
happened with OJ and the other more recent case, I cant think of the guys
name right now. In both cases tho they were found innocent of charge of
Murder but then OJ lost everything in a civil suit over the same issue. The
judicial system has never made sense to me, if your found innocent then that
should be it not get a second shot
