For Man Falsely Accused of Rape, All Liars Should Go To Prison

Article here. Excerpt:

'Every perpetrator of this crime against justice deserves to be punished, starting with Banks’ accuser. There is word that Wanetta is going to be asked to repay the $1.5 million she was paid by the school district for what she claimed to have happened to her, but her repayment should go far beyond money:

She should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and deserves a prison sentence no less severe than the time that was going to be given to Mr. Banks when the state chose to believe that he was a rapist.

The second party to pay for what happened to Mr. Banks should be the attorney, judge, and prosecutors who coerced him into taking a plea deal. Mr. Banks was told that if he continued to hold on to his “illusion” of innocence and actually fight for his right to a fair trial, he could face up to 41 years.

This kind of threat is similar to what was done during the Salem Witch Trials and the Spanish Inquisition, where anyone who proclaimed their innocence was tortured until they admitted guilt.'

When this fool agreed to confess to a major crime he did not commit what did he expect would happen to him? Pick up trash on the side of the road for a couple of weekends?

Also, is rape the crime that is seriously overrated? I think it could be presumed that the state uses rape cases to advance their self interests and political agendas.

Perhaps he should have fought for his innocence, but I understand why he took the plea bargain. It would be hard to fight a rape charge as a black male, knowing that you could be going to jail for 40+ years for something you didn't do.
