About ten years ago I was falsely accused of a very serious crime and was jailed awaiting trial. I had nothing whatsoever to do with the crime, it was total news to me, but I was in a position where I had to prove myself innocent. Fortunately for me, the case was "reluctantly" dismissed before it went to trial. I can tell you the entire experience was a nightmare, far worse than anything I could ever imagine.
While I was in jail my only hope was that the truth would set me free. But a few weeks into my nightmare I learned that the police "discovered" something that was just not possible. It was a bold face lie.
I was told by my public defender I must be mistaken because the police are to "professional" to plant evidence. Since no one really believed me I just pretty much just let the matter drop, happy I was out of jail.
I know it is old news, but still unresolved for me. Others may be wrongly found guilty because I did not speak up. What should I do?
