On the financial side, there have been lawyers (who see a Duke LaCrosse type payout at the end of this) approaching the falsely accused for months.
It will be a big score.
And I would imagine that families and friends of the accused fall into the same patterns as the posters on these threads. So they are not without emotional support.
The emotional turmoil largely comes when nobody believes your innocence. That isn’t the case here.
The emotional turmoil comes from many angles. Normal life is massively disrupted, at first there is a sense that "truth will win out," but first contact with the legal system proves that hope to be false. Ask the people who stood in court, asked the state to produce evidence of wrongdoing (there is none), the state makes statements that are true, throws insults (and you can't respond in kind, in court), and then the judge sides with the state. Your lawyer says you have a good case, but you lose because the legal system is adept at justifying its own wrongdoing.
I do agree that the support system in this case is superior to most. Still, it's better to be out of the wringer than in it.
