NFL says Patriots "probably" deliberately deflated footballs

[Raven]

in a criminal case, a prosecution needs to prove their case "beyond a reasonable doubt" whereas in a civil case, the plaintiff needs their case to be supported by a "preponderance of the evidence" which is fancy talk for "more likely true than not"

at least those are the general US standards

then again this is an internal NFL matter and not a civil court

i doubt that is the case. you don't give hgh bans based on he's more likely than not, do you?

i dont know. the nfl handles their stuff internally, and they use their own standards. like i said, the NFL isn't civil court. was just expanding on tlong's post about civil vs criminal standards
