There would be a civil suit if he was rich, whether or not he was famous. The subsequent criminal trial could have gone forward without using inadmissible evidence from the civil case, and he would most probably still have been convicted.
Bottom line: the prosecutor screwed up big-time. People walk out of court free when that happens, and most of them are neither rich nor famous.
