[QUOTE="Dave70968, post: 3181295, member: 13624"] No worries, and the only reason I mentioned it is because it was directly germane to the issue of the civil suit. In civil court, a conviction (guilty verdict) can be used as very strong evidence to support the plaintiff, almost enough to stand on its own; a "not guilty" isn't dispositive; though the defense can [I]try[/I] to use it, it doesn't have nearly the same strength as an finding of actual innocence would.
