He still has eligibility, and the woman should get prison time IMO. Just a terrible thing that happened to him.

Bruce Feldman posted this link about it earlier today:

http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Long-Beach-HS-Football-Star-Brian-Banks-Exonerated-from-Rape-Conviction-153683735.html

This part is the most despicable:

Quote:
Banks' accuser, Wanetta Gibson, reportedly said she lied about the accusation. She friended Banks on Facebook after he got out of prison, saying she wanted to "let bygones be bygones."

According to documents in the case, she met with Banks and said she had lied, and she offered to help him clear his record.

But she later refused to repeat her statements to prosecutors because she was worried she would have to return a $1.5 million payment from a civil suit brought by her mother against the Long Beach Unified School District.

She told Banks, "I will go through with helping you but it's like at the same time all that money they gave us, I mean gave me, I don't want to have to pay it back.
"

Put her [inappropriate/removed] in jail.

What I find most remarkable is that he didn't say a single negative thing about the girl. I really hope that he can find a productive life for himself in whatever he chooses to do.

To add insult to injury: [url]It was uncertain whether Gibson will have to return the money and unlikely she would be prosecuted for making the false accusation so long ago, when she was 15.
[/url] So she ruined a man's life AND won't be punished for it?!

Let's not discuss the crime itself, please. This is not the place for it.

People like that make me furious.

Hope the best for the kid. Seems like a solid individual. Hope he can make the most out of life given that it's been derailed.

Figured that goes without saying. Someone like her, who intentionally ruins another person's life and dreams, for monetary gain, does deserve it.
