Also the US standard of Civil Liability
Where there is not enough evidence to convict you in a criminal trial where it has to be proven "beyond a reasonable doubt", but you can be found guilty in a civil trial where the burden of proof is the "balance of probabilities"
OJ Simpson was acquitted of murder in a criminal trial but found culpable in a civil case
