I am unaware of any jurisdiction in which "beyond a reasonable doubt" is the appropriate standard for a civil claim. It is generally "preponderance of the evidence", with some special proofs requiring "clear and convincing" evidence. But not beyond a reasonable doubt, which generally is reserved for criminal matter.

Even if there is some state that has a BARD as the standard for a civil case, she'll be able to sue him in one that doesn't.

You are right. I realized I made an error as soon as I posted it, but I didn’t bother to post a correction. Naturally someone would catch it on FR!
