Cleared Of Rape Conviction, California Man Aims To 'Move On Strong' : The Two-Way : NPR
Five years in prison. Then five years of probation and wearing an electronic monitoring device. The shame of being a registered sex offender. Not being able to get a job. His dream of playing in the NFL destroyed, possibly forever.
Brian Banks, now 26, has gone through all that.
Then Thursday, the California man's rape conviction was dismissed. His accuser, who last year sent Banks a message on Facebook suggesting that they "let bygones be bygones," had been videotaped saying she lied about being raped. Wanetta Gibson's previous statements to police about the alleged 2002 incident had been the only evidence against Banks there was no physical evidence that Banks had raped her.
How he hasn't committed murder is a mystery to me.
I wonder if she was a PAWG?
