Guilty and Liable both mean that you are responsible by law. However, you are "liable" in civil cases and determined "guilty" in criminal cases. There is also a difference between state (liable) and federal (guilty).

Yes, there is a difference between guilty and liable. Guilt typically refers to a person's responsibility for committing a crime or wrongdoing, while liability refers to legal responsibility for damages or injuries, often in a civil context. In criminal cases, a person can be found guilty, whereas in civil cases, a person can be held liable.
