I was arrested, tried to kill myself, listened to the tape, found out I didn't to it. Can I sue the state?
Like I said, I was served with a warrant for my arrest on April 1, 2011 and made bail April 2, 2011. I was arrested while preparing dinner for my crippled mother. I made my first good court date, like the good citizen I am, and was told to come back to court on May the 10, 2011. The stress of me knowing I didn't sell any pills of any kind and this trial was just to much and got to me. I tried to take my own life on May 6, 2011 for fear of my reputation, I wanted to become a police officer, and life was about to be ruined. After spending the night in a mental hospital I was deemed "safe" so I went home. May 10 rolls around and I make my way back to court. After the judge decided to talk about my case in discussion, I met with my public defendant. The first words out of his mouth was about a plea bargin the state/county was offering me. I was told I had to make a choice before session was back in. I refused to make anykind of bargan or anything until I heard the tape and proved it wasn't me. I was told I didn't have the right to listen to the tape. My hopes were crushed. It wasn't five minutes later the same man who told me I couldn't hear the tape approached me and said that I was going to be able to actualy hear the tape. I sat through the entire tape which was about 30 minutes long. When the dealer approached the confidental informant, the CI ask's her accomplace, and I quote, "Where's (says my name)." After not getting an anwser from her partner the dealer walks up the the window. The deal is about to go down when the CI ask's the dealer where I was again. He replies with this, and I wuote again, "He's at his house with his hurt ankle". ( I have gout and swell up and sometimes can not walk.) After listening to the tape the officers and the lawyer looked dumbfounded. I was told that I was going to have all the charges against me dropped, and sure enough they were as soon as court was back in session. I feel like I have a legit case against the state and county here for wrongful inprisonment/ wrongful arrest. I feel like it just helps my case that I almost succeded in taking my own life as well. I think I should be entitled to some kind of repremantions for someone for this careless and unnecessary violation of my civil right. I mean this could have been solved so easily by just listening to the tape. I feel like that is extremely poor police work that almost cost me my life. I just wanted to explain my story in full and see if anybody could tell me wether to pursue this or not. Any help would be awesome! Thanks guys for reading this and passing your' knowledge on to me.
