Legal Question in Civil Litigation in North Carolina
I would like to find a legal precedence concerning a man picked at random and being charged, arrested and going to trial, suing law enforcement agency for financial losses and emotional distress.
Federal or local.

What you are describing is false arrest/false imprisonment. There have been cases on this. Are the police in North Carolina or elsewhere? It will help narrow down the search. Further, what evidence do you have to show that the police arrested and prosecuted the wrong man? You will have to sue the police in federal court.
I can do research for you for a fee (my rate is $150 per hour) regarding the cases if you are interested. Otherwise, consult an attorney who will litigate this action for you to see whether you have a case. Do not attempt this on your own as it is extremely unlikely that you will win and you could do a great deal of damage to your case.
