double jeopardy
How is it that you can be aqqited in criminal court for something and guilty in civil court for the same thing? Isn't that a form of double jeopardy? To me it is so how is that possible?

Re: double jeopardy
Think OJ. They are different court systems, so different rules apply. Double jeopardy only applies to trying a criminal case twice. Visit www.kliszlaw.com for more info. Tim Klisz
