house 09/18/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ensure that when people face criminal charges but are not convicted, the courts require the government to cover their attorney fees, helping to protect individuals from the financial burden of cases that do not result in conviction.

Good, the government will think twice before wasting time and money playing witch hunts against innocent citizens.

If you can’t convict, pay up—maybe this will stop frivolous trials and free up our courts for real criminals.

Finally, a bill that holds the government accountable instead of letting it bankrupt the innocent—about time justice got affordable!

Taxpayers shouldn’t bankroll endless lawsuits where the accused walks free without consequences—it’s time we make the system smart and lean.

Making taxpayers footing the bill for wrongful prosecutions? This law says 'no way!'—good news for the little guy fighting big government overreach.

If you’re not guilty, you shouldn’t pay—simple. This bill turns the scales a bit more in favor of the people, not the prosecutors’ wallets.

Seems fair enough—if the state can’t prove it, maybe they should pay up for the trouble they caused.

Courts should protect defendants from costly miscarriages of justice. This bill nudges us toward that middle ground.

Justice shouldn’t come with a hidden bill; if you’re acquitted, the government should cover your legal tab. Balanced accountability, right?
