Consider the case of O.J. Simpson who was found not guilty in a criminal trial, but “responsible” in a civil trial. 

Do some research into this issue --- beginning with these articles: 

  1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O._J._Simpson_murder_case
  2. https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/question-civil-judgment-versus-criminal-conviction-28300.html
  3. https://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/o-j-simpson-acquitted
  4. https://www.legalteamusa.net/difference-between-civil-law-and-criminal-law/

Questions:

Explain your thoughts on this matter --- should a person be subjected to civil jeopardy for the same crime(s) they were previously found not guilty of in a criminal court of law? Is the current system fair or unfair in your mind? --- would you possibly feel the same if you were the one at jeopardy? --- and explain why you hold the opinions you do respecting this subject.
