the171 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 If the courts get around double-jeopardy one time there will be terrible consequences. This sets precedence. God knows we need more loopholes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BG45 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 As others have said, no, due to double jeopardy laws. It is entirely possible in our system to be factually guilty but not legally guilty due to the way our due process model of justice works. "Better that ten guilty go free than one innocent languish in prison". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIKolbe Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 what about civil proceedings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 (edited) If a member of her family wanted to pursue a wrongful death civil trial like was done with O.J. it would be a different charge as well as not have to meet the same standards as a criminal trial on doubt. You'd have to ask one of the lawyers on PM, but personally I'd not bet against a jury in a civil trial finding the same way as the criminal; the media saturation if nothing else, of the outrage following the "not guilty" verdict on murder has probably biased a great number of potential jurors. Edit: Added "potential" before jurors. Edited November 27, 2012 by BG45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
