In civil litigation, plaintiffs must prove liability by a preponderance of the evidence, a lower threshold than criminal guilt, so the absence of criminal charges does not determine the civil outcome but is relevant to defenses and settlement negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>Practical thresholds for readers: a) if prosecutors open a criminal investigation or file charges, that will materially change evidentiary posture; b) if Golden Corral amends its public posture, issues policy changes or releases a redacted incident report, that will be an observable marker of operational consequence; c) if discovery in the civil case produces video, witness statements or internal communications, those are the documents most likely to move the case toward trial or settlement.
