I have a good friend who quit being a public defender because of the lies of the cops and prosecution. Another friend of mine had his life and health ruined over an idiot prosecutor who tried him with bogus evidence. He is dead now.
If this guy has a case, he should sue the pants off of the idiots who made his life agony. Ruin their lives, the way they ruined his.
You know there are people on FR that believe being a criminal defense attorney is fundamentally immmoral....
I don’t think we have been presented with any facts to suggest that the police and/or prosecutors intentionally charged a man they knew to be innocent. It sounds like an extremely tragic mistake.
BTW, you can’t sue the police or the prosecutors for charging and trying you just because evidence later exonerates you. Short of a “malicious prosecution” suit, it’s just a horrible, tragic mistake.
