Wonder if we could pass a law where, if you knowingly falsely accuse someone of a crime and are caught, you face the same sentencing they would have under the crime you accused them of.Interesting footnote: without the videotape, the men could have spent the rest of their lives in state prison if they were convicted of kidnapping and aggravated rape with a handgun. But the woman’s false accusation is a misdemeanor punishable by no more than six months in county jail. It’s only because she took several thousand dollars from a taxpayer-funded victims’ assistance program that she was charged with two felonies.
That would be fair indeed. I'd vote to enact a law like that. It'd prevent women from getting guys convicted because the woman is too embarrassed to admit that she involved herself in all that.R00k wrote:This part gets me:Wonder if we could pass a law where, if you knowingly falsely accuse someone of a crime and are caught, you face the same sentencing they would have under the crime you accused them of.Interesting footnote: without the videotape, the men could have spent the rest of their lives in state prison if they were convicted of kidnapping and aggravated rape with a handgun.
