I donbt it. The last time I looked, Georgia didn't have a speedy trial rule, as do the courts in most other states. Who would you have pay you compensation? After you were jailed, were you brought before a judicial officer at all during those 19 months? If so, I suspect the judge is immune from liability for whatever mistake of law he or she may have made.
