The answer is not really. Even if you get the best attorney, the precedent is that the government did not act maliciously or wantonly so is not really accountable for the mistake and is protected from any lawsuits. The former inmate most of the time has no grounds even to have the state reimburse him or her for the days in prison.

You would have to double check, but I am almost positive that government institutions can not be held accountable(finacially) for wrongful imprisiment.....and it is left to the victim of such false claims to basically "suck it up". Im not sure if such theory differs btwn a trial with a jury and one with out.......

Possibly, but that is only like if there is judicial malfeasance on the part of either the judge or prosecutor.

In a perfect world they'd do something for you, but in this world they won't offer you anything.
