First of all let's get something strait shall we? I don't ever recall hearing a vertict of "innocent". At best you're not guilty and can never be tried again. At worst(short of being found guilty) the charges will be dropped and the authorities will investigate and follow you until statute of limitations is reached. With either, you are still labeled a criminal. It stays in you're record that you were arrested. It doesn't matter if the arrest was baseless. The next time a crime of that genre is committed they'll come looking for you. Compensation, damages.. you've got to be kidding. Look at OJ, he spend his fortune defending himself. (I'm not comparing this guy to OJ, because we all know OJ was guilty).
