Original Note:
This was a civil suit, not a criminal one. The plaintiff must prove their case by a mere preponderance of the evidence—not beyond reasonable doubt, as one would in a criminal case (1). As such, there are no “guilty” or “not guilty” verdicts (2). 1. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/burden_of_proof 2. https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/resources/law_related_education_network/how_courts_work/verdict/
