Question is not quite clear.
If the criminal trial is completed but not yet adjudicated or the defendant has not yet been sentenced, any evidence produced at the criminal trial COULD be ruled admissible at a civil trial. It may call for a ruling from the judge presiding at the civil trial in order to determine it admissibility.
