Wrongful Imprisonment Compensation Options

Summary

In Georgia, if you were wrongfully imprisoned and your first offender status was revoked, you may have options for compensation and record expungement. Since you were found innocent of the new charges, consider seeking post-conviction relief. Local pro-bono organizations like the Georgia Legal Services Program and Atlanta Legal Aid Society can provide legal assistance. Connecting with these resources can help you explore your legal options and potentially remove the felony from your record.

I know that recently the law changed in Georgia, allowing for those falsely imprisoned to receive new compensation for every year they spent incarcerated. Well, while under an admission of and plea of guilt-- for burglary in the first degree I was placed under probation within the first offenders act. The conditions of which I indeed intended to abide by and did for all intents and purposes remain within my scope of behaviors involved in the contract I signed. I was -- after two weeks or so, (after having signed into the first offenders contract and obligation within my plea of guilt submitted upon the burglary preceding) --then accused by another individual of having committed a heinous crime. I was innocent of the accusations, in truth, but was straight away violated on my probation sentencing for the burglary which happened prior to said accusations and my first offender contract was taken away (or revoked) in full.
It sounds like a complex situation you're dealing with. In Alabama, the First Offender Act is similar to Georgia's, allowing for probation instead of a conviction on record, but it can be revoked if conditions are violated. Were you given a chance to contest the revocation of your first offender status?
Not really. I went to court and was violated in full and sentenced to twenty years in prison.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. It sounds like a tough experience. In Alabama, you should have the opportunity to contest the revocation of your first offender status. Did you have legal representation during this process?
I live in Georgia. And yes I did.

It was revoked because two weeks afterwards, someone I knew accused me of committing rape, aggravated sodomy, and false imprisonment. Each of which they presumed me to be guilty of before letting me state my case in court. Violating my first offender in full and sentencing me the twenty years in prison . I sat for four years under that sentencing, before taking the new charges and whatnot to trial . I was found unanimously declared innocent of all new accusations by each juror
