Summary
In North Carolina, compensation for wrongful conviction requires proof of innocence, not just a case dismissal. A dismissal means the case was closed without a verdict, but it doesnt necessarily prove innocence. To prove innocence, you may need additional evidence such as witness testimonies, alibis, or surveillance footage. A pardon may not be necessary for compensation.
