> I don't know what country you reside, but in USA you are innocent until you are proven guilty.
Yep. And you can sit in jail for a year or so while they figure that out at your trial. Of course you’ll have lost your job by then. And paid your lawyer a fortune so you’re broke. And your family is kind of screwed up over the whole thing and the hardship it caused.
But you were innocent. And that’s all that mattered.
Yep. It happens. And these are extreme cases in which system has failed. Usually you end up suying the system and state/county/whomever wronged you has to pony up millions in settlement. That's also probably the only reason the scenario you describe is very rare and not a norm.
It’s not rare, though it may not be for a year. And you can’t sue because the government did nothing wrong. You were found innocent at trial, that’s how things work. People found innocent don’t get to sue the government for wasting their time. If you can’t bail out you’re stuck waiting in jail.
Again it happens but very rarely. There will always be prosecutoral misconduct unfortunately. And yes absolutely you can sue anyone for anything. If you believe you were detained for too long you can sue the government. People do that all the time - sue for governmental neglect. You just have to have strong enough case. If you were held day too long thats nothing. A year thats a plain abuse.
