I'm not a lawyer by training, but I don't think there is any legal system in the world that allows a criminal court to hear a civil suit. Criminal law is not equal to civil law, meaning to say, I don't see how an accused can be deemed innocent in a criminal court only to be later deemed guilty in civil court. If a case is conducted in a criminal court, it cannot be heard again in civil court.
This seems like a good primer:

Again, I'm no expert in legal matters, so feel free to correct me if need be.
