Are you sure about that Jim? As I recall in the infamous O.J. Simpson case, he was found not guilty (ha!), but the courts allowed him to be charged in a wrongful death case. If he was found not to be the murderer (ha ha!), and was supposedly not even there (ie UNINVOLVED), how could be found guilty of wrongful death??

I am sure there are other examples, but this one is famous and seems to fit.
