I found that odd too. The only conclusion that I can come up with is that the OP meant that no conviction was recorded - which I find rather odd for an assault case. Maybe it was a first offence.

If it's anything below AOBH I'd be surprised if a conviction was recorded on a first offence. Even AOBH would be 50/50.

Actually, a quick question: Other than balance of probablilities versus beyond reasonable doubt, is there any other difference between civil and criminal defamation?

It would depend on the State/Territory
