You right.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be pissed but just because you want something doesn't mean you're gonna get it.
The fact was that you didn't post bail and you were held for your trial and found not guilty doesn't merit compensation. The fact that you were indicted and went to trial means that there was at least something there. And not guilty doesn't mean the defendant didn't do it, just means that the prosecution didn't meet it's burden of proof (in no way am I saying anything about your case, it's a general statement).
For you're civil case you're gonna have to show that they knowingly accused you of something you didn't do. Or prove that the DA knew there was an insufficient case but still went ahead If every single person that was locked up before trial and was found not guilty went and sued their accuser, the legal system would turn into a circus.
These are the post I need to see, just so I don't walk into a lawyers office like I don't know nothing.
MOAR Quality.
I honestly feel this is exactly what happened.

Nah civil cases dont need as much evidence as a criminal case. They sent him in he paid the bail and then they upped the bail and added on another case and he was found NG on everything. He has a case and the state would proll just break him off wit some paper just to make it go away. They dont want #%@$ to get anywhere near high profile so it becomes regular knowledge that you can go out and sue when the state takes unnecessary actions against you (since it is done more often than you would think)Originally Posted by KingJames23

But you def need to hit up your attorney. Cuz im pretty sure you will get some type of compensation. But like I said IDK wat they're gonna throw you since it was only 5 month. Even tho I know dat seems like forever when you in there prolly. Especially since you got a daughter. Thats money and food off her table because they had you away from making money for not only yourself but for your kid.
Basically if chicks can sue McDonalds for spilling hot coffee on herself and ppl can set the CC on their mobile home and go take a nap and run it into a ditch and win money im pretty sure you could get a wrongfully accused settlement.

Our judicial system isn't perfect. Just like year, about two or three men who did 25+ years for the system was exonerated.

Alright. If I didn't serve enough time, that's up for debate I guess. But there is no doubt that the Cops, D.A. and Judge handled my case and I'm sure handle a lot of cases similar to mine as just a number, they do not follow the "Innocent until proven guilty." amendment. I was treated like a criminal before I was proven to be one.

OP- your case has merits. Don't be deterred by some of the responses you may read on NT. The wifey works in the DAs office and her old boss who was the elected DA got ran out of town for behaving unethically, much like the DA who was over your case. I think many of the guys posting here are thinking that the only time you can be compensated is If you've done years of hard time. That's simply not true. Just because some individuals believe that they are stuck with the present system and its inequalities doesn't mean you have to feel the same way. While I don't have a law degree, I do have a political science PhD and the wifey has been practicing for three years in the criminal realm. Don't give up. Your rights were definetly violated here.
