Re: Can I seek restitution
The answer to your question, as with so many areas of the law is, "it depends." It depends upon whether or not the prosecution was improperly brought as no evidence ever existed, or just that the evidence originally there was unavailable at the time of trial. Were you acquited by a jury, or was your case dismissed by the court?
These are some of the questions you should obtain answers to from a lawyer in your area competent to advise you. You can get recommendations from your local bar association if you don't know such a lawyer.
