I thought it was the other way around.

Weren't the current proceedings just to determine the enjoinment issue? And then the civil trial won't proceed until the criminal one is complete?

I thought that Avant! argued that they could not answer questions in the civil trial without risk of incriminating themselves at the criminal trial.

Just like the OJ trials. At the civil trial the defendant can be forced to take the stand. Since testimony at a civil trial can be used at a criminal one, the defendant has lost the right to not incriminate himself.

Cos: I'm amazed at how much information you turn up. I haven't been able to find any new on the criminal trial. I'm glad you're on this thread.
