QUESTION
I was put in prison for 19 months illegally, with the state conceding and myself being released on appeal, can I sue?

More details to this question:
My appeal was partially filed which kept me in prison longer, the attorney was asked for by name by the sentencing judge, which I also felt was incorrect. I feel like I should be compensated for my loss of time and loss of not being able to go to my family's funerals.

Your case warrants review and exploring your options makes sense. A case reversed on appeal isn't on its own a clear path to a successful suit. The reasons for the reversal are important.
