I don't know, I didn't look into the details of the case at all before forming an opinion on it. Why should I?

But seriously, there is a very distinct difference between a civil and a criminal prosecution in the United States. One famous example would be O.J. Simpson who was not found criminally guilty but did lose the civil wrongful death lawsuit. You don't do jail time for a civil case.
