What steps should be taken if you have been falsely accused of a crime and have been FALSELY IMPRISONED?

what i think you should do is get a good lawyer to represent you.  If you were falsely accused the police probably have no evidence of the crime.  But honestly i don't know if you will be able to sue, unless you have any visible harm, and if you do have any bumps or bruises from the arrest take pictures to present in a court. that's all i can tell you sorry if it isn't any help!

Find proof and contact the county attorney with your proof.  It will be up to them to prosecute depending on how much evidence you have.  If your evidence is insufficient, they will not prosecute.

see a lawyer and see whether your committed crime(s) qualify u for expungement.  Certain types are not expungeable.

Did you plead guilty?\nIf your lawyer failed to provide you with all of the information, you may have a claim that you were provided ineffective assistance of counsel. Unfortunately, a guilty plea generally waives any claim of ineffective assistance, or any other non-jurisdictional defects.\nIf you pled guilty, you may have a claim that your plea was not knowing and voluntary, because you did not know of all the elements of a guilty plea (if this is the type of info your lawyer did not read to you). If so, you can file a motion to withdraw your plea. If the court grants that motion, then you are back at square one; you will be provided an attorney who will help you either plead guilty again, or go to trial. \nSince you are convicted, you may be able to get some assistance from the inmate attorneys where you are incarcerated. Some of them can be quite helpful.

The short answer is that if you have no solid evidence, the police will not listen to you. Also, the person you accuse could sue you for slander.

As a hiring manager, I want to know about that conviction, exactly why it happened, and why it won't happen again.  Truthfully, a dishonesty offense is about the hardest kind for a company to forgive -- if there is an equal candidate with no convictions, that person will get hired first.  No crime gets expunged automatically -- you have to apply to the court to have it sealed or expunged.

Dude, get a life.....If it wasn't a big enough of a deal to do it right after it happened, then I guess it wasn't a big deal at all..\n\nBut to answer your question, it depends on what act you claim they're guilty of....consult a lawyer or paralegal.

There is a possible charge of filing a false police report. I would want to look into it a little more.

Ordinarily, the court will keep both parties well informed.  However, if you had representation, even a public "pretender" then that is the preson whom the court will community with about the status of the case.\n\nYou can go to the clerk of the court and obtain the signed document (hearing) that verifies that charges were dismissed.

There is no way of making that call with our hearing all of the evidence.  It is up to the jury to determine if the evidence was enough to convict.  Generally you do not base this decision on just one piece of evidence, but a combination of everything presented by both sides.  If you feel that the prosecution did not prove their case, then you need to acquit, as everyone is to be considered Innocent until PROOVEN guilty.  I hope that if I am ever falsly accused, I have an intelligent jury deciding my case.

If you haven't gone before the Judge yet you might still have a chance of having it expunged from your record after 2 years, through a pretrial diversion program.  Depending on what you were arrested for, and if the Judge agrees to this you will have to take a class relating to whatever your crime was, pay court fees, and keep your record clean for 2 years following the class.  If you do not get in any more trouble, your record will be cleared.  However, if you commit another crime you will have the current charges and previous charges weighed against you.  I would recommend you talk to the Prosecuting attorney who is in charge of your case about the Pretrial Diversion program ASAP and see if you qualify. \n\nIf you have already gone before the Court, well you are pretty much stuck with the Misdemeanor forever.....sorry!!!

rehabilitation.  realizing you did something wrong is the first step in learning to not do it again.  taking responsibility for you actions is the right thing to do as well.  perhaps the courts lienancy is to encourage this behaviour.

I'm not an attorney but, I'm qualified to answer this question as an ex-con, who has spent time behind the walls, and then survived three revocation hearings on a suspended sentence I recieced after being in prison. \n\nSo let me tell you what has happened to get you to this point and I've never met you. You have most likely failed a U.A., failed to appear as directed, haven't paid fees, court cost or resition, caught a new charge or failed to go to couseling, A.A. or do community service. Something along those lines. \n\nWhen that happened you P.O. send a affidavit ( a sworn statement) to the D.A.'s office. They have filed what is called an "application to accerate" and are asking for a hearing (called a revocation hearing) to take away your probation status. \n\nHere is what is going to happen. Nothing for a while, the process sometimes moves slowly, meaning it may take the D.A's office a few weeks to get the paperwork filed but, I assure you they have'nt forgotten about it. \n\nAn amended affidavit, is an affidavit that has been modified since the original was taken. The D.A. has found something "materially wrong" with your P.O.'s affidavit OR\nthey have amended the original affidavit to "include some other infraction" they aledge you have done. \n\nOnce the application to accerate is filed the judge will issue a arrest warrent and you will have to post bond again to bond you over, as a means of guarenteing you will appear for the revocation hearing.\n\nHere is how you stay out of jail 1) don't catch a new case 2) call a bonds man, once or twice a week and have him check to see if a warrent has been issued. 3) when it is issued, you go to the courthouse with the bonds men and surrender yourself as he post bond. They make take you in custady for a short while, in order to go through the booking process. \n\nIf you don't get booked in when he post bond, then they will do it when you make your inital appearace at the arrangment hearing. Either way, you should be home for dinner that night and you can plan your schedual to be taken in to custady for a few hours, rather than being picked up without a minuted notice. \n\nUntil, the warrent is issued here is what you do. Keep reporting in to you P.O. and following the other terms of your probation. BUT BEFORE YOU GO TO YOUR PROBATION OFFICE ALWAYS, FIRST CALL THE BONDSMAN AND MAKE SURE YOU DON'T HAVE WARRENT. Your P.O. will have you picked up in his office, if you show up there, with a current warrent out for your arrest. If he tells you otherwise, don't believe him. It is a trap.\n\nBut, you can't quit checking in, just because you know one day this hearing is going down. However, if you have an appointment with him and find out you have a warrent don;t go. Call enstead and tell him that you can't make your appointment, because you have a warrent out. But you want him know what is going on. And you are working with a bondsman and will see him next week, once you are bound over.\n\nThe way you beat the case is to correct, whatever it is they aledge you have done or not done. If you haven't been paying fees, start paying fees. If you haven't been reporting, start reporting. If you have a hot U.A. start going to A.A. and get someone to sign your paper that you attended or better yet go to treatment. If you have any new charges and don't have a substance abuse problem, I don't know what you do. But if you have a new charge, a DUI, Public Drunk or possession charge you have to take drastic measures and go to 30 day primary inpaient treatment. \n\nYou can't wait until later and try to bargain with it. Judges don't bargain. You have to show your willingness up front, with no gurantees of lenancy. That is just the way it works. But, it works.\n\nYou want as many continuances that your attorney can get the Judge to agree to. Time is on your side in this situation. You want to put

If it is considered evidence they can keep it till after the trial is over. If there was no trial or the investigation is complete and you have been sentenced to jail, you get it when you get released. But if you weren't sent to jail then you should have gotten the items back already.

Filing a false police report is in itself a crime.  Contact your local PD and provide all pertinent information. \nThe PD did nothing wrong. They were 'doing their job'. Most officers I know are very perturbed when a false report is filed. \nOnce the issue of filing the false report is established, you can then sue former employer for false arrest.\nThere's also the issue of slander, if these people are willing to provide a statement and appear in court as a witness.\n\nGood luck.
