I would also like to hear from Streeeetwise and any other lawyers on the Civil versus Criminal issue.

I'm trying to get a better understanding of this issue.

Crystal's lawyers argue that the Civil case going forward will somehow hamper the Criminal trial?

Does Nifong have any standing in a civil trial?

I am stuck on the issue; it seems like someone is being prevented from exercising their rights when a criminal trial can be years away (some cases are). Then, if there's a not
a unanimous decision for aquittal - the DA can just retry the players and the whole process is started again, and in North Carolina the DA controls the Docket. It seems justice is a civil trial could be delayed indefinitely.
