What is the name of your state? Utah. This is as simply as I can put my question: O.J. was accused of murder in a criminal court and got off. Then a civil suit was brought against him. I do not have a lot of money, and I was having problems with criminal actions against me. So I went to the Utah legal Aid, and they said they cannot help, they only deal with civil cases because they recieve federal dollars. I was told they cannot help in any way with criminal cases. But if O.J. was sued for murder in a civil suit, doesn't that mean I can "reinterpret" things so that a criminal action can be dealt with with a civil suit? I.e., since a murder was adjudicated under a civil suit, doesn't that mean any crime can be dealt with under a civil suit? If my problems fall into the realm of civil lawsuits, I can get legal aid. Hope that's clear enough.
