Couldn't she argue that she's been living under the shadow of the death penalty for three years even though she was innocent.
Couldn't she claim, loss of income for three years, extreme pain and suffering and loss of reputation all caused by a "reckless" prosecution team?

The state has the right to take someone to court, the state gets sued if it is shown they did something wrong, hid evidence, beat confesions out of suspects etc.
In this case I doubt a civil jury in the world would award her a penny.
