The state of Missouri carries the burden of proof in civil commitment cases. Juries must find beyond a reasonable doubt that the sex offender in question suffers from a mental abnormality that makes him "more likely than not to engage in predatory acts of sexual violence if he is not confined to a secure facility. At trial, psychologists testify about an offender's mental condition and any psychiatric conditions they can diagnose. They then use actuarial tools to determine the offender's likelihood to commit more crimes.
An expert on Pennsylvania estate law praised Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala's office Thursday for prosecuting an Upper St. Clair lawyer for allegedly bilking an elderly widow. Prosecutors rarely push for criminal charges in such cases, usually citing a higher burden of proof in criminal court than in civil cases, said Montgomery County attorney J. Brooke Aker, who spoke at a legal seminar Downtown.
