Or where a person is acquitted of the criminal charge, then sued in civil court for the offense he was acquitted of.I know that double jeopardy could probably be said not to exist because the person is not "subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb" because a civil court can't deprive you of life (that is, of freedom if not actual life), only of property. But it still feels like double jeopardy (as in O.J. Simpson) because you are setting up a logical fallacy: you are sued for the results of committing a crime which a criminal court couldn't prove you committed. |
