When a defendant is acquitted after being detained or placed under custody pending trial, the defendant receives compensation in accordance with the length of detention or custody. Similarly, defendants who are acquitted by re-trial after incarceration following a guilty verdict receive compensation in accordance with the length of incarceration. These are stipulated by the Criminal Compensation Law.
