MAJBobby Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 (edited) 3 minutes ago, Rocky Landing said: It's a civil suit. It doesn't have to be proven. Honestly, I think there is a large amount of denial on this thread. The only way this could be "all about the money," as seems to be the mantra here, is if she had set up the assault herself. That's a stretch. Sure, she's looking for a pay day. But, that's clearly not all that's at play here. This could very well be extremely damaging to Shady, regardless of his guilt, or innocence. I'm sure everyone knows this, but a civil lawsuit is based on a preponderance of evidence. The allegations do not have to be proven "beyond a reasonable doubt," as they would in a criminal case. She just has to have a more convincing story than him. So you contradicted your self. It doesnt have to be proven like you said. Or it does have to be proven like you later say?? If I am shady I am immediately filing a counter slander suit. Edited August 13, 2018 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Preponderance of Evidence is still a very legal standard of proof. But ABSOLUTELY still has to be proven the standard of proof in most civil cases in which the party bearing the burden of proof must present evidence which is more credible and convincing than that presented by the other party or which shows that the fact to be proven is more probable than not; the evidence meeting this standardplaintiffs must show by a preponderance of the evidence that defendant's negligence proximately caused the injuries Edited August 13, 2018 by MAJBobby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that there is probably enough here (all hearsay, and circumstantial, of course) for a good legal team to put together a decent case. I suppose it would hinge on the testimony of the witnesses. She wasn't home alone, right? If Shady is smart, he'll settle out of court, if he can.

We're just into semantics here, at this point. But, I wouldn't say that if something is 51% likely to be true that it has been "proven." Would you?

So she and her cousin corroborate the "story" of what the attacker said? Not evidentiary enough to pass the preponderance burden of proof. Won't fly in a court of law.
