    Bump.
    @Codename Section when you get on...watch this thread and come get me.
    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..

    So far all I can think of is United States vs Stein.
    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.
