If someone is accused of a major crime and is found not guilty in a jury trial?

Question

Can a person countersue the false accusers and other responsables for losses caused by the false accusations

Answer 1

They can sue the party for the cost(s) of the
lost or damaged properties. But that is
the extent of what they can sue for--unless
they can prove that the accusation caused
serious mental anguish.
(E.g., if the person who was accused of the
crime suffered from depression because of
being falsely accused.)

Answer 2

Again, this question is best answered by an attorney, but, this is going to depend a lot on who made the accusations, a neighbor, relative, stranger, ex girlfriend, who, and for what reason.
If these accusations were just to cause you misery, and can be proven as such, then yes you can sue, winning is another thing.
If you were accused by the police, then they must have had a reason to make such accusations, and it would be hard to sue.

Answer 3

Depends who made the accusation, and it would be a civil court matter. You couldn't countersue, but you could sue.

Answer 4

a trial is not "sueing" so they can't "countersue" but they can take it to Civil Court and sue, but chances are they are better off just trying to get on with their life.

if you look at OJ, he won (found Not Guilty) but when the family took him to civil court he was found Guilty and ended up having to pay Millions in Retrobution.

Answer 5

I wish it could be done that way but unfortunately our judicial system is so flawed that you would be wasting your time. Welcome to America!

Answer 6

Sure could.

Answer 7

probably not
