No, but OJ was sued for wrongful death and lost after being found
Innocent of the killing by a Jury. If you gun down a perp, the
prosecutor may choose not to charge you with anything, but the perp's
relatives may choose to sue you for wrongful death and Win.

Which is true but irrelevant unless you feel that it is better to be dead
than be sued. If you do feel that it is better to be dead than to be
sued,
when they sue you you can always shoot yourself with the same weapon with
which you shot your assailant.


Some of our civil law needs serious work ...

You think ours are bad, how about those libel laws in Europe? Yikes!
