I was charged with a crime I didn't commit. I was told by the attorney I had at the time all my witnesses had betrayed me and lied to me about the sentences that were to follow a plea. I was lead into it and found out that I was in the worst and most sever probation in the state. I was not even allowed to go to two family members funerals. I withdrew my plea and was granted a new trail on ineffective assistance of council. A month later the case was dropped for the interest of justice. I want to know if I can charge my former attorney with a crime and if I can sue her for financial damages that occurred due to the time I was in probation.
