    They aren’t mutually exclusive

      They are when you’re holding an actual trial. You can’t try both criminal and civil charges simultaneously, the two processes are quite different from each other.

        Even then they aren’t mutually exclusive. It just isn’t dispositive of the other.

        In a civil trial after being found guilty of a crime you couldn’t reasonably argue that you shouldn’t be found civilly liable because of that.
