It can be a defense from losing a suit, but it wont stop you from being sued.

We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

One thing to consider....if you are tried and found not guilty, the level of doubt for civil trials is substantially lower.....Preponderance of Evidence (civil) v Beyond Reasonable Doubt (criminal).
Just think of OJ's Not Guilty verdict in his murder trial, then found liable in civil court.
Bottom line, anyone can sue anyone and you can bet a criminals survivors are going to be shopping for a personal injury attorney.
