The person is innocent in the sense that they will not and can not be punished. If he sues I do not need to show beyond all reasonable doubt that he is guilty. <<, but even though he was found innocent if he tried to sue me for libel and my lawyer could show that a proponderence of evidence shows that he did do it then I would still win the lawsuit. <<<<<<<< How could your lawyer do that without another trial declaring OJ guilty, which could never happen because of double jeopardy. AFAIK you would have to abide by the courts decision. In OJ's case, a court of law found him innocent. You can't change that verdict, without a superceeding verdict. So my educated guess is your lawyer won't win the case, because the court can't retry OJ , because of double jeopardy, so you can never prove OJ did it,. You would not need another trial because he would not be subject to criminal penalty. Actually there was allready another trial but a cival one. OJ lost a wrongful death suit. The court in that case decided that OJ did it. It didn't decide he was guilty of murder because that is a criminal finding which it could not make (the court didn't have juristiction in criminal matters, and even if it did it would be double jeopardy), but it did decide that OJ did wrongfully kill 2 people.
