The Bar for a Civil Judgment

The tone from Joe Tackapini yesterday was, why didn't you scream? But this was so bad. She said I was terrified. I didn't know what to do. All the things that rape victims are often harassed about. We heard in that courtroom yesterday. What is the bar here for a civil judgment unlike a criminal trial? It's preponderance of the evidence. Or it's more accurately 50.00001%. Whatever tips the needle one way or another. That's why so many civil cases settle. Because defendants know they're facing a very difficult burden and they'd rather manage that risk and end up paying money.
