| Re: Brian Banks DNA wasn't necessary - he admitted he had sex with her. He just asserted it was consensual.

| Re: Brian Banks The prosecutors were faced with a he said/she said rape case. Sure, in this instance they were wrong. In many other instances, if such cases aren't pursued, more than one or two rapists walk free. You want things black and white with no grey? You're living in the wrong universe. No matter how hard we wish it didn't - sometimes bad things happen to good people and evil goes unpunished. Right now, society owes this young man a debt it can't repay. Hopefully, steps will be taken to right as much of the wrong as possible.

| Re: Brian Banks The problem I have with the system is now that we know she lied she is not getting prosecuted for any crime. WTF is that all about. That little bitch should rot in jail for the 40 yrs he pleaded down to 5. I hope for him he makes an NFL team and can live out his child hood dream and that little bitch rots in hell. |

| Re: Brian Banks Quote:
The weird fact is apparently all they did was go behind the school and kiss, but she stated they had sex. He was admitting they had sex (consensually) even though they did not. One would think that if he was getting arrested the same day it happened then the detectives would have taken her to the hospital to determin if she had had sex earlier that day. Unless all the evidence was inconclusive. Which would be weird. Nothing adding up but believing her story? In any case he basically admitted it happened and took the lesser punishment. Hopefully his civil suit works for him cause I'm wondering if the fact he took the plea would wash the gov from any wrong doing. If he denied and went to trial and was found guilty then I could see him winning this case. He has a better chance of going after the girl with a civil suit then he does the gov. I'm shocked the public is not putting pressure on the prosecuters office and the school board to go after this girl and or her family for the false police report and to have them pay the county back in some way or fashion. I'd be pissed if my local gov made this mistake and was not going to right the wrong. | |

According to Banks and his private investigator, Gibson refused to tell prosecutors that she had lied, so that she wouldn't have to return the $1.5-million settlement her family won in court after suing the Long Beach Unified School District.

| Re: Brian Banks Prosecutors are oftentimes so hungry for a conviction, that they'll send the wrong man to jail for a crime that he didn't even commit. It's twenty years later after Mike Tyson's rape conviction, and I still doubt very seriously if Tyson raped Desire Washington. Women have a way of playing the victim and getting everyone to sympathize with them even if they are telling a damn lie. |
