Matt and SSF were discussing civil juries, so in this hypothetical scenario there's a civil case where presumably they're suing for damages as a result of the alleged assault (whether medical or suffering). 

One of the most famous civil cases from an alleged crime is the civil case against OJ where the victims families won after he was found responsible for the murders even after he was declared innocent. Doesn't necessarily SEEM right, but totally different stakes between the criminal and civil cases.
