Civil trials don't render a verdict of guilt, they render a judgement either for or against the defendant.
There is no immunity from repeat suits in civil cases as there is (double jeopardy) in criminal cases.
At the risk of taking this thread even further away from Bradley basketball, there is a concept in civil cases similar to double jeopardy -- res judicata -- i.e. once an an issue or case has been decided, it cannot be relitigated by the same parties. It doesn't apply to prevent a civil suit after a criminal defendant has been acquitted because the plaintiffs in the civil suit were not parties in the criminal action, and because of the different burden of proof (there is no determination in a criminal action that the defendant was "innocent," only that they are not guilty b/c the prosecutor failed to meet its burden of proof.
