To what extent does the doctrine of stare decisis bind civil courts to the decisions, especially the jury determinations, of criminal courts?
If someone was convicted of an act that was both a crime and a tort, (fraud, for example), and was afterwards sued for fraud, to what extent (if any) is the criminal court's determination (to a standard of "beyond all reasonable doubt) binding on the civil court trying the same person for the same instance of the same offense, to a standard of "on the balance of probabilities"?
