Unprotected or comprimised wireless internet routers or trojaned computers are a real possibility. If I had been on that jury I would have needed evidence that she was the one actually doing it. Not just evidence that it involved her IP.
In criminal cases the burden is on the prosecutor to prove beyond all reasonable doubt the defendant is guilty. Civil courts are different the plaintiff only has to prove there is a 50%+ chance the defendant is liable or owes the plaintiff damages.
