Like OJ Simpson? Though that was a suit brought by family, not by a government entity.

Sure, but there's lots of other examples. For example, securities fraud cases can be prosecuted both civilly and criminally by the SEC and DOJ. Tangential to my line of work, there's tons of environmental pollution offenses that can be the subject of both criminal and/or civil enforcement actions - and as with other types of cases, the absence of (or an acquittal in) a criminal proceeding doesn't prevent the civil case from moving forward.
