And if we should die tonight
Then we should all die together
Raise a glass of wine for the last time
Calling out father, prepare as we will
Watch the flames burn auburn on the mountain side
Desolation comes upon the sky..
Is there anything else her highness wants?
my junk is ugly

Usually its the other way around, a criminal verdict, having a higher standard of proof, estops the defendant from defending the civil case, but not the other way around. Nevertheless at the very minimum look for a similar standard of proof for whatever is being proven in the civil case with whatever is being proven in the criminal case, if you have a match (obviously a conviction requires evidence beyond a reasonable doubt), on that particular portion of the case, the court theoretically, and trust me, this does seem like a stretch to me, impose res judicata on the issue. I've never personally heard of issue preclusion with respect to a civil case precluding issues in a criminal trial.
