A Georgia woman who spent five months behind bars after being falsely accused of cocaine possession has been awarded more than $1 million by a federal court.
The woman was taken into custody on the false drug charges and spent a month behind bars before the Georgia Bureau of Investigation completed an analysis revealing that the substance in question was not cocaine.
However, the woman was still held behind bars under the same charges for an additional four months.
