Whether the statutory requirement for compensation for wrongful incarceration equitably tolled the petitioner's civil rights claims
QUESTION PRESENTED Whether the statutory requirement that the petitioner show his criminal case was dismissed based on innocence or grounds consistent with innocence as a condition for compensation for wrongful incarceration equitably tolled the petitioner’s civil rights claims against the city and its arresting officers, during the pendency of the wrongful incarceration claim, when state authorities in the compensation claim relied on the same prosecuting authority who presented the officers as witnesses at trial to confirm or deny that the dismissal was based on innocence or a grounds consistent with innocence.
