About the fight for justice
In 2003, Torina was wrongfully indicted for mortgage fraud by our United States government. Torina was facing 20 years in prison and had to quickly learn law as her life depended on it. Her court appointed attorney told her the government was cutting his funds if she didn't plead guilty. Torina stood her grounds and refused to plead guilty for something she didn't do. She control of her case and proved prior to the trial date that the FBI agent and prosecutor made up a false confession to the Grandy Jury.
The government dismissed the case on Torina November 2004. Torina filed a lawsuit against the United States and the FBI and the case was dismissed as the government argued that the government is "absolutely immune" for lying about a Defendant and causing an indictment. Torina argues that the case Imbler vs. Pachtman has been misinterpreted and that the government cannot be immune. There are alot of innocent people behind bars because their attorney sold them out and had them plea guilty even though they were innocent or they were, as in Torina's case, indicted based on fraud by government officials.
