Anyone can be sued for any reason...winning a lawsuit is a different story. The contract would have to be read, but a big step to avoid litigation is to simply pay the remaining balance.
I also obtained the discovery and most of my statement was also made false by the police. I wasn't charged with anything, but don't want anyone to get in trouble for something they didn't do. This is a drug case.
