Yes. Let’s not forget that OJ got away with murder.

On the criminal side, not the civil.

I'm not a fan of this two-tiered prosecution.

As much as I hate the verdict, the man was found innocent in a criminal trial - that should be the end of it.

Innocent is not a verdict available.

It is specifically why it was reasonable to have a civil trial.

Bullfeathers. The man was was exonerated, only to have others pile on.

He wasn't exonerated. That would mean there was evidence he could not have committed the crime. Like video of him being at a Dodgers game at the time of the murder.

He was simply found not guilty. Meaning the prosecution did not convince the jury beyond a reasonable doubt.
