That's where a civil case might be more successful. Reasonable doubt doesn't come in technically, it's judged by the preponderance of the evidence.
In that case, the jury can overlook a piece of evidence that qualified as reasonable doubt, and consider that there were 15 other pieces of evidence pointing at the defendant.
