Tim Re...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.<<<<<< You won't get to first base with that argument. The court won't let you try to prove OJ is guilty, because OJ was already tried and found innocent. Period. Even if incriminating evidence shows up later, the court won't allow you to use it. That would be subjecting OJ to double jeopardy. If the state can't retry OJ with new evidence, why would they allow you. And if you can't retry OJ, the original verdict will still stand, which means you lose. You would not need another trial because he would not be subject to criminal penalty. <<<<<< If you are going to accuse OJ of murder, and murder is a criminal offense, you must change the criminal verdict. A civil court won't let you argue a criminal trial. Besides OJ doesn't have to prove his innocence. You must prove he is guilty, and you won't be given a chance to do that. but it did decide that OJ did wrongfully kill 2 people. <<<<< Agreed, that you can say. But wrongful death is a long way from murder.
