Legal Question in Criminal Law in New York
I was wrongfully incarcerated in February 1993 (indictment #04952/93) being charged with criminal possession of controlled substance in the third degree, a class B felony and sentenced with 2-4 years. While incarcerated, a change occurred with my case. A motion ($440.10) was filed on my behalf for my release. (See "Sting operation catches 3 city cops" New York, Newsday 3/19/94, P. 6, "Case review under way due to police scandal", New York Times 4/19/94, p. B2, Mollen Commission Report pp. 37-38). In December, 1994, orders were granted to vacate the judgment of conviction, pursuant to CPL $440.10(h). I never received any kind of compensation for the time taken out my life during this wrongful imprisonment. Is there anything that I can do about this at this time? Thank you. Tony

Depending on the reason for the dismissal/reversal you may be entitled to compensation. You should seek an atoorney who specializes in these types of actions. You may want to call the innocence project for a referral.
Good Luck
I would love to further discuss to see if you can be awarded some compensation.
