I was joking, of course, above.
Civil is separate from Criminal. As with OJ, he was actually found guilty with Civil, though found innocent for criminal. Which is why it was such a debacle, when he tried to get his trophy back with guns, in LV. He messed up, and is at least serving time for that.
Like with Van der Sloot, criminals always make a wrong move. At least that dude was sentenced to 28 years, and his pleas didn't matter!
