re: The exoneration of Brian Banks - 60 minutes

the reason why she is not going to jail is because "it will discourage other false accusers from coming forward and exonerating the innocent" pretty much they don't want to scare other girls who lie about being raped from doing the right thing eventually, which is kind of BS.

It's not BS, it's the truth... if a girl knows she'll go to jail b/c she lied about it, what are the odds she'll come forward?.... next to zero.

I agree that it's a screwed up situation, but that's just the way it is... if the accuser has the choice of keeping the accused in jail or putting herself there, she's gonna choose herself every time.
