Pictured above is Brian Banks and he’s crying as his kidnap and rape conviction is dismissed yesterday in a Long Beach, California courtroom.
Brian’s story started ten years ago, he was a high school football star in Long Beach, Calif., heading for a full scholarship at powerhouse University of Southern California when he was falsely accused of rape and kidnap. The accusations ruined all of Brian’s potential NFL dreams.
But after spending ten years in a California prison, Brian’s accuser “friended him on Facebook” with a very strange request to let “bygones be bygones”. So with the help of a private investigator, Brian’s accuser was recorded admitting she made the whole (rape and kidnapping) thing up and was reluctant to come forward because of a 1.5 million dollar settlement she had reached with the school district.
But with the help of the Innocence Project, Banks used the evidence to be exonerated and as of yesterday (Thursday May 24, 2012) a prosecutor moved to have the case and his charges dismissed.
Having lost 10 years of life that Brian can’t possibly get back, he’s hoping now for an NFL career and damn well deserve it.
But what do you think should happen to Brian Bank’s accuser? A women who so conveniently lied and deterred his life and dreams of a promising NFL career. A woman who so nonchalantly “befriended Brian on Facebook” as if he hadn’t suffered and lived ten years behind bars because of her LIE!!!!!
I hope and pray charges are brought against her, and she is made to pay back every penny she was awarded for lying on an innocent young man.
Damn shame!
But I’m glad he’s free!!!!

Olivijah,
Here’s the problem with that, he will not collect one dime – because he was never fully prosecuted and wrongly convicted – he took a PLEA DEAL voluntarily…not the same as being wrongly convicted. He has (unfortunately) two sets of bad legal counsel – the first one who told him to take the deal in the first place and the second one who thinks he is going to get some money from the state – ain’t gonna happen.

Adam, So I guess if they tried him as an adult and wrongly convicted, there is no loop-hole to get the money that he is entitled to? Yeah ok…This is a delicate matter were he should have some good lawyer who can get him the money. He wasn’t able to get a job easily due to a record that he didn’t deserve. So I believe he will be fianacially compensated because “a good lawyer will jump through” the difficult loop holes of the law.

Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave itto the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20 To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good…Romans 12:19-21
