How long will it take for us to see any result from the civil suits for false arrest?
from the net sifter:
A wrongful arrest lawsuit can take several months to over a year or more to be decided, depending on whether it is settled or goes to trial. Many cases are settled out of court through negotiation, which can resolve the case in a shorter period, but if the case proceeds to trial, it will take much longerIt is way too soon for these cases to se a judicial ruling, but you knew that?
