I think it would be hard to find a lawyer foolish enough to take that case against you.

I agree with Mr. Dinday. I'm curious, though, why you think the defendant might sue you. Are you the one who reported him to the police? Even if you are, and even if the judge decides the evidence is insufficient, that would not give the defendant grounds to sue. If you believed he was guilty, it's not your fault that the evidence didn't satisfy the judge.
