It’s unfortunate that innocent people go to jail in America. Evidence is ignored. False testimony is created. When the police ignore evidence or participate in the creation of false testimony, innocent persons are able to sue the city police department that falsely sent them to jail.

Very rarely, police pressure witnesses to give testimony that isn’t right. And to make matters worse, when bad evidence is sometimes brought to the attention of prosecutors, they side with the police. The innocent person sits and jail, their life wasting away.
This type of Civil Rights lawsuit involves a wrongful imprisonment claim. The federal government, the District of Columbia, and 27 states have laws that allow the wrongfully accused to make a claim for compensation. To find out what the laws are in the state you’re in, contact The DiCello Law Firm.
