    Not likely... why were you arrested, and what is your loss?

    WHY were you arrested? What were you charged with?

    There are obviously details missing here.

    Earlier this year, while I was sleeping, 3 men broke into my house. They robbed me,beat me, put a shot gun in my mouth and told he will pull the trigger if I did not cooperate. They made me drive them to my bank and withdraw money. They left me at a gas station Kama I called the police, they came and found them. The detective thought I was involved. They put me in jail and charge me with possession of marijuana paraphernalia and having a handgun, it was not my gun, or drugs . They confiscated my computer's telephone security system and can a antique 410 shotgun. I took a lie detector test and passed it. The men that broke in my house told them that we were doing drugs together which is not true, I have never seen him in my life. I have spent over $5,000 over this matter and I owe more. The bottom line is I was home sleeping minding my own business and they put me in jail over something I did not do. I could really use some help on this matter. Thank you.

    "It's not mine" is not a defense to a possession charge (either guns or drugs). Spent money on what? The only thing you should have spent money on is a lawyer. Obviously, there is probable cause to believe otherwise.

    How did they break into your house? Was there a shattered window or broken door to prove that part of the story?

    Why would these complete strangers break into your house and force you to the ATM? Experience tells us that such stranger abductions and kidnappings as you describe are so exceedingly rare as to be statistically nigh on impossible. Unless they were scoping you out and had good reason to believe you were Daddy Warbucks (or, a lightly protected local drug dealer with lots of cash), why would they have selected YOU at random to jack up for money?

    I strongly suspect that there is more to this story ... at least, there is more to what the police suspect. I find it hard to believe that they might have, out of the blue, simply leapt to a conclusion that you were a willing participant in whatever happened.

    Whether you can be "compensated for [your] loss" will depend on whether you can successfully sue the suspects and they have the money to pay you, or, you can prove that the police arrested you KNOWING that you were, in fact, innocent. You would have to prove malfeasance on the part of the police to successfully sue them.

    Your attorney has certainly spoken with the prosecutor on this matter. Apparently even the prosecutor is convinced you played a role in this drama somehow.

    Ultimately the state will have to prove your guilt. If the state cannot prove your guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, you win. It may be a costly win, but, you won't be guilty. All you have to do is cast reasonable doubt on the state's accusations in order to prevail.

    If it was a legitimate break-in/abduction, your homeowner's insurance will likely cover the damage to the house and possibly even the money stolen from you. The "money you are out" depends on what you are talkiong aboiut. However, this is the least of your concerns if you are facing criminal charges.

    I totally agree.
