So what happens if he’s acquitted?

“I was looking at the statute, and it doesn’t require an actual conviction. It requires a person who feloniously and intentionally killed the decedent. And so since the slayer statute is civil, arguably it could apply if the court determined that this person had committed this murder, even if, for some reason, the person could no longer be charged criminally — I don’t think that’s the case here,” Sean Weissbart told People.

“What I would say is a felony conviction would be per se, [meaning] the slayer statute would apply, but it could arguably apply even if there was not yet a felony conviction.”
