This is a question for the "decider of fact." If it is a jury case, the jury must decide who to believe. In a bench trial, the judge must decide who is more credible.

This is not a question of law, but of human nature. The "decider of fact" will consider each person's demeanor, their potential motives for lying, and whether or not their story makes sense. It isn't a procedural question, but the same as any other situation where you must decide which person is telling the truth. The decider typically won't pinpoint anything specific, but will simply feel that they believe one or the other.

Unlike a criminal case where the criteria is "guilt beyond a reasonable doubt," the rule in civil cases is only "the preponderance of the evidence."

any action in a tort is to acquire legal compensation only, for the damages

tort is based on the principles of "demnum cyne injuria" and "injuria cyne demno"

These types of cases are tricky to win. In order to win a wrongful imprisonment case, you must prove that the person you're suing knew the incarcerated person was innocent and did not make good faith effort to incarcerate the right party. If you wish to sue for a violation of your fair and speedy trial, you must prove that the court system did not provide a trial within reasonable time frame (which 8 months sounds unreasonable, but the courts may have reason for the delay). One thing that comes to mind, is that the person who was incarcerated for eight months may have waived his right to a speedy trial, however, this would be in writing on a special form.)

Eight months seems a pretty long time to sit in jail before being acquitted of crimes. I would assume the incarcerated person was remanded (held without bail/bond).

I would seriously contact legal representation. These types of cases are generally heard in the common pleas court and the filing, deadlines, etc are much harder than general small claims court.

Custody is an issue of family law. In the US, family law is determined by the individual states, and varies greatly from state to state. Some states allow juries to hear custody issues, while others require that a judge make this determination.

This depends on whether the punch was intentional or negligently inflicted. If the punch was intentional, you might be entitled to compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and punitive damages. If the punch was negligently inflicted (the assailant did not mean to throw a punch), you could only recover medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Of course, what you could really sue someone for is a much more complicated question, depending on things like whether the punch was provoked, whether it was inflicted during a sporting event, etc. If you really think you might have a case, I suggest you consult a lawyer. Personal injury attorneys are likely to offer a free consultation and take the case on a contingency fee basis.

You can get the forms needed to file in small claims from the clerk of the court. It would be a good idea to call first to make certain of the hours the clerk's office is open. Sorry the information is not more specific but that is not possible without knowing the city or county of residence.

If a default judgment was entered against you the case is over. By failing to appear you lost the case.

Criminal records are public information and you should be able to find out by calling a police department in your state. Without knowing of your state, I cannot possibly be able to inform you of a way to find them on the internet. I only know those web addresses for North Carolina.

I believe that you are referring to a civil suit? This is an action by one person or entity (company, partnership, etc) against another, for money damages or some other kind of equatable relief (an injunction, cancellation of a deed or contract, etc).

The Civil war was a rough time for all the soldiers, especially for a 15 year old boy named Say. Say was a runaway solider who got lost by his own side, the Union. He was wounded and couldn't move and there came a mahogany boy to help Say. The boy was the same age as Say, his name was Pink. Pink took good attention of Say and brought him home. There Moe Moe Bay, Pink's mother took good care on Say as if he were her son. Say is a white boy and Moe Moe Bay is a African-American woman who probably has been tortured by white men all her life. All of the sudden people came into the house and Moe Moe Bay took Pink and Say to the root cellar so the people wouldn't find them and kill them and take all there stuff.

As Pink and Say went up Pink was reading, Say thought slaves weren't allowed to read. Pink told him that his master taught him to read because he liked being read to. Say didn't know how to read and he was embarrassed about it. Then Moe Moe Bay told Say to touch her hand; she shook that hand with Abraham Lincoln and she said it was the next best thing to touch so Say did. Then Pink told Moe Moe Bay that they were going back to the war and my ass was the best as it could be

did too, but he didn't really agree with it. Moe Moe Bay said "No!" she was inconsolable. Then the people came and Pink and Say were told to go to the root cellar. When the people barged in the found Moe Moe Bay and shot her. Pink and Say found her lying on the floor dead.

Later on the confederates found Pink and Say because of Say's accent, they were able to tell he was from Ohio. They dropped them in box carts and there were on there way. Say thought they were in there for two days. After that the confederates took them to Anderson Ville, the worst confederate prison. Pink and Say were isolated and a few months later Say was released and he went back home and got married. He had seven children with Abigail Bernard. Say never knew where Pink was or what happened to him. He heard that he was hanged a few hours after he was brought to the prison. This story was passed on from one of Abigail Bernard's children to there and from there to Patricia Palacco. Patricia Palacco says she shook the hand that touched the hand that touched the hand that shook the hand of Abraham Lincoln.
