It's worth noting for the next time this comes up, that the burden of proof is different in civil and criminal cases (balance of probabilities vs. beyond reasonable doubt, your jurisdiction may vary).
Remember OJ? They could convince a jury he probably did it in the civil trial, but the criminal one decided (somehow) that reasonable doubt remained.
Hmm maybe, yes, I just didn't want to go this far into legalities. Preponderance of evidence vs. beyond reasonable doubt is (I think) less important when only commenting on what is factual and what is not.
