    If you are falsely accused of a crime, yet spend time in prison and later exonerated...shouldn't you have some type of 'jail credit?'

    I think if you are convicted of another crime you should be able to apply those accrued years to your would-be sentence. Do this until you have a zero balance.

    Make sense? Hell yeah!

    :D

    No, the jail time gets applied to all those times you presumably drove over 55 and/or with a stash of bud in yo glovebox.

    If you are falsely accused of a crime, and convicted and later exonerated.

    Are you still an (damn the UT education system) ex-convict? Remember, you were "convicted". So in the true sense of the word....hmmmm...

    Man, I have 2 years of jail credit for some **** that I later received 10 years of probation on. As a part of that probation, I have to pay $9,500 in restitution and assloads of fines. But because I was convicted of the crimes and sentenced to time before it was changed to probation, I get none of those 2 years in credits towards my fines, whereas most people with fines earn $100 a day in jail towards their balance. If that were the case, them bastards would owe me like $40,000 dollars. So no, if you have your sentence changed, any time you did becomes null and void unless they decide to give you your jail sentence back. Gotta love Texas.


    But do you ever do shows in Austin, AB?

    "How much money do you keep on you? I'll get that 9500 somehow."

    DT

    Not a joking matter. Actually I know some one who was wrongfully accused of something and spent 18 months in jail over it and later they found the person who did it. The worst part about the whole thing (aside from the 18 months) was AFTER they got the other guy and he confessed, TDCJ kept him in jail for over a month while all the "processing" was being done and it took lots of money from his family to get him out that quick.

    Just think if the exonerated person could sell their time served to the highest bidder.

    Now that would be something.......:)

    LMAO...but not at the bottom part of your post...

    That's sucks major penis for your friend. My situation is stressful on me, but at least I deserved it. I can't imagine how crazy the poor guy was being driven for 18 months. My only consolement during all that time was that I was getting what I deserved and that I was learning from the experience in direct correlation with that. Although I feel now that I'm being treated a bit overly harsh, I still have the crutch in my knowledge of it being my own fault to at least some extent. But there's no way that your friend gained anything by that experience other than cynicism and detestment for the people he has to trust with his life. If you see him again, tell him my heart's with him and that he'd be an amazing soul if he can let go of his resentments ever.
