When someone presses false charges on someone and they have to do time can they get out and press charges on the false charger for slander?
Slander has a very difficult legal standard, you have to prove they knew it was untrue or didn't care as to the truth or untruth of the statement.
If the event they did you may be able to recover damaged, but it would more likely be in the criminal matter of them filing a false police report and purjuring themselves at trial. It would be more likely that restitution would be ordered by the court in the false claim trial than a subsequent civil trial for slander.
