Technically the lawyers are right. The bad checks thing happened before the murder thing so if she was remanded for a year over the checks thing but was serving time for the murder thing they cancel each other out as she spent more than two years in jail and was found not guilty for the crime in question. Frankly she should be removed from the state and put into protective custody until such time as she can change enough of her appearance to not be identifiable.

Actually if I remember correctly FL owes her money as she was held for longer than the probation period and found not guilty on the other charge.

Except that she was still found guilty on four counts of lying to the police and credited with time served. She won't get money, but she should still go free.

Aug 16, 2011 12:24:02 I'm not sure how it goes in other states, but in Florida, if you sue the state or any government official/branch/office/etc., the Florida and are awarded over 200K, it has to go through an approval process through the state legislature. So there is a good chance idiots playing politics will deny her any money. Like this guy. Considering that these are the same people who decided that Florida needed another useless law, I don't see her collecting any money.

Wait. So you could be arrested and convicted on evidence the police invented, prove this, then sue and win, yet not get the rightful compensation you are entitle to because some schmucks want to be reelected?

Yes. Although in the case of the guy who was injured by the BSO officer, the Florida legislature was trying to set up one of their leaders (can't remember) to run for senator next election cycle.

Can you sue the state for not paying you? Is their some hope for people? Maybe a federal supreme court discision?

Sure. You could sue the state. You could probably sue the state reps and senators. You'd still be stuck with them deciding whether or not to award you the money.

Aug 17, 2011 3:46:43 Break the debt up into a bunch of 1000 dollar chunks and sell each one to a debt collection agency for ~700 dollars. You get 140k of your 200k and get the added joy of knowing the senators are being called by 200 debt collectors, so about 50 billion calls a week.
