The arresting officer lied to a Grand Jury in order to file charges. Part of the bond condition added by the Judge was weekly UA's, which came to several hundred dollars. I spent almost 5 mos. in jail on a contempt charge, which would have never occured had these charges not been filed. My utilities were shut off during my incarceration, lost work, & now stay with friends while trying to put my life back together. Can I sue for the time spent in jail? Can I be reimbursed for the cash spent on bond and on the UA fees? I live in Johnson County, Texas. Should I get a lawyer? (Mine was court appointed). Thanking you in advance for your kind consideration in this regard, I am
Sincerely,
Callie
