LOL! Harry probably would have said; “So? What’s your point?”

Criminal and civil cases have different standards of proof. Civil cases have a lower burden of proof for the plaintiff, so even though a criminal case may not reach the standard of beyond a reasonable doubt, the civil case may achieve a positive finish for the “victim.”
A good example of this is the OJ Simpson criminal trial(not guilty) then the civil trial which he lost.

If he'd said that, I'd have been forced to grudgingly admire the guy's style!

Sounds like he would be able to collect. If I remember, the judge said he was immune from prosecution when he tossed the case.
