I asked a lawyer here in Canada is what happens if you beat a murder charge but spent $100,000 on your defense. He said you have to sue to get your money back! Wow, so you lose even when winning. Is it the same in the USA? If you are high profile enough perhaps the shame heaped on the state compels them to pay one back.
