Man exonerated in rape case, accuser admits she lied, yet man still rots in jail due to Attorney General

This is the/one of the reasons I am on MRA. I had a close friend years ago experience similar and sat in jail for about 6 months going through the legal process until the woman confessed she made everything up "to hurt him because he broke up with her". He had went over to her dorm to talk to her about a item of his that she had kept on purpose and then she persuaded him to have "sex one last time" and then lied about it being consensual. For 6 months my friend was in jail, his life was ruined afterwards. He could not return to school, he could not even stay living in the same town. He was my friend and a great guy and very accepting of the difficulties in my life. I will forever remember him and hope his life has improved and not spiraled out of control. I wish often we had kept in contact but I understand his decision to leave everything behind.

(Edited. I'm also here to learn more about mens rights issues, gaining insight!)

He has already been released now.

Stories like this remind me of why I support men's rights. They also remind me of why the burden of proof that rape occurred should always be on the alleged victim.

This really sucks, and I really hope that people focus on the woman who put him there rather than the legal system causing a delayed release. She was a malicious bitch who ruined his life, the system is just there to ensure that everything is 100% cleared before it things follow through.

Title is misleading - he is not rotting in jail because of the attorney general, but because the court that vacated the conviction had no jurisdiction to do so, and the attorney general did not have jurisdiction to release him.

He did, however, get a conditional pardon as soon as the cabinet of the attorney general was able to determine by what means they could get him out of jail as the case was obviously blown.

The sad part about this is that his false accuser will get a slap on the wrist punishment compared to what this poor man had to endure. Aside from a complete and total public shaming her punishment should be as follows:

reimburse her victim for all of his legal fees
he hasn't been able to work for 4.5 years. She should have to reimburse him for all lost wages
She should have to reimburse the state for all of it's legal costs in prosecuting an innocent man
She should have to reimburse the state for the money it spent keeping an innocent man in jail since 2008

AND

She should have to spend 1 day in jail for every single day that this innocent man spent in jail (starting with his initial arrest, pre-trial) without possibility of parole or early release.

That would be justice.

I'm sorry but, perjury is not good enough.

She should be charged with whatever the equivalent is of me going out to the street, and fucking kidnapping someone, and then keeping them locked in my basement for 3.5 years. I can even invite a bunch of real thugs over to live down there to make the living conditions that much more pleasant.

Remember: feminists want this guy to imagine a scenario where he did rape that girl and to use this experience as a life lesson as to what he is capable of putting a women through.

Don't blame the Attorney General for this. He didn't have any authorization to release the guy, and neither did the judge. It's the law that was screwed up.

Our legal system is a mockery of justice and a true paragon of bureaucracy and twisted logic with no bearing or relevance to real life or morality. Empty headed, slime hearted, weasel livered shills infest our courts, and dare to hold the title of "justice" and "honor". Utterly fucking disgusting.

Not enough money has been paid to the lawyers in the "correct jurisdiction". You will only be upset if you think the "justice system" has anything to do with justice.
