re: #188 Targetpractice

I feel like the Grinch when I tell folks that the most likely scenario is that both the grand jury and the Feds come back empty-handed, that the Sanford PD did its job well in denying them enough evidence to charge him with anything. And that he’ll face no civil trial, since if even the Feds couldn’t find enough to charge him with a crime, the odds of a civil court finding him guilty of wrongful death are vanishingly small.

Depends. Criminal trials need proof beyond a reasonable doubt. Civil trials need only 51% culpability.
