A:
In your situation, it's crucial to seek an experienced civil attorney who can help you navigate the complexities of a malicious prosecution case. The fact that the state admitted to wrongdoing is significant and could play a pivotal role in your case. It's important to act quickly, as there are time limits for filing such claims.
Given the gravity of the charges and the length of time already served, your attorney can help you explore options for holding the state accountable for any misconduct that occurred. Malicious prosecution cases can be challenging, but with the right legal guidance, you can pursue justice for the wrongs you’ve endured.
Discuss your case in detail with your attorney, providing all relevant documentation and information. This will allow them to build a strong case on your behalf and work towards securing the best possible outcome for you.
