False rape accuser locked up
Submitted by ItsDan on Tue, 2007-04-24 19:49
Granted it's only for four months, but that's more than many people get. Story here. Excerpt:
"A TEENAGE girl who lied about being raped by a taxi driver was sentenced to a four-month detention and training order today.
The 17-year-old, from Shipley, West Yorkshire, who cannot be named for legal reasons, pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice at a hearing last month.
District Judge David Thomas, sentencing at Bradford Magistrates' Court today, told the girl she would serve two months of her sentence in custody.
...
The court heard that Mr Ahmed, who has 11-year-old twin daughters, no longer works at night for fear of further allegations.
His financial position is now such that he has had to put his house on the market.
His wife is now taking tablets for depression, the court heard."

Yep, that's more than Mangum got
Unlike this girl, the Duke accuser won't get punished.
Could somebody please help me understand this mentality for not punishing, "it won't do anyone any good for her to be in jail"? No less than a State D.A. says that..what kind of perverted shit justice is it? Punishments aren't supposed to "do anybody good", they are supposed to punish. Besides, it WOULD do some good in this case..there would be fewer false allegations.

Here is one explaination
"it won't do anyone any good" that's the point!
Who in this society would feel a sort of "that's only fair" if she would be punished. And who would feel a sort of being more protected in the future.
Just men - No human beings in their perception.
So it would not do anybody good.
Nice explanation
Hits the spot, Kurt.

Point taken, but actually that wasn't my question
Even if it is true that it "wouldn't do any good..", how is that a justification for not jailing someone for a crime? Since when are punishments given, to do someone good?
