Posted by Samael at 5:15pm Sep 18 '09I agree that what they went through sucks, but they were exonerated. They didn't even have to go to trial. That's how the system works, man. Someone accuses you of a crime, they police investigate, bring you in, and you go to trial. In this case, it turns out that the victim lied for some reason, but let's not pretend this is some tragic miscarriage of justice, and that there's some kind of epidemic of "innocent men serving time because of some woman's lies".
Does it suck that this lady lied?
Absolutely.
But while you're losing sleep over the fact that four guys have been exonerated after being held briefly, where's your outrage over the many, many more men who are guilty of rape, but never see the inside of a prison cell?
