Woman jailed for six years after false rape accusation spurs bystanders to beat man to death
Story here. Excerpt:
'A 20-year-old woman has been jailed for six years after she falsely accused a man of rape then led a gang to beat him to death.
Latiqwa Mayes was enraged that her victim Donald Robinson had not received a stricter sentence for breaking into her room and assaulting her friend at a boardinghouse.
Months later, she saw him walking down the street in Baltimore, Maryland, and yelled: 'He raped me! He's a sex offender!
...
He was pronounced dead in hospital and an autopsy stated the beating as the cause of death.
Slamming Latiqwa Mayes, who has been in solitary confinement since September 2013, Judge Timothy Doory said Robinson's offense did 'not justify a call to the community to impose physical, violent retribution.'
...
Latiqwa and Willie Mayes both pleaded guilty to second-degree murder.
They were each sentenced to 10 years in prison, however Latiqwa will serve six and Willie will serve two, with the other years suspended.'
