Rape lie destroys man, his family, but the ACLU says requiring the false accuser to apologize is "cruel and unusual" punishment

For the comments questioning if she was actually found guilty of a crime - it was in the included NY Times article:

She was charged with perjury and pleaded no contest. On June 8, State District Judge John P. Murphy imposed the sentence: six months in jail, plus the newspaper and radio advertisements, which would cost her about $1,000.

It happened 18 years ago. Does the ACLU still hold the same position?

She shouldn't be forced to say what is obviously false to her feminist head.

Besides what's a woman's word worth? Nothing.

So a woman's apology is worth less than nothing.

Ergo a woman's compelled apology is worth even less than nothing, that's like negative infinite.

A good arab judge would suggest that her father, boyfriend, husband or guardian should go to jail for the same amount as a rape conviction.

That will fix the modern plague of raising our uteros as princesses.

I'm sorry, but I'm with the ACLU on this one.

Think about this for a moment. Do you REALLY want a legal precedent set where the government can compel you express a certain statement?

ACLU dropped the ball there. (IMO)

Isn't a false rape claim perverting the course of justice or purgery?

If you file a police report claiming your car is stolen, and in the meanwhile you hid it. What is the charges filed against you when the truth comes out?

Yeah! Fuck people who believe that the government shouldn't be allowed to compel you to make a statement against your will. They must be batshit crazy!

Since many feminists say a rapist deserves to be raped in prison perhaps that women deserves to be raped so she has to go through what she put that man through?

Meh I won't even suggest that.

It looks like the accuser didn't contest or appeal the sentence though.

I suppose putting her in jail, where she should have been put, would have been better? Come on ACLU. I expect more from you.

I wonder if the ACLU's opinion would be different if the laws were. As it stands she hasn't been convicted of anything so this is cruel and unusual punishment. If what she did was illegal and she were convicted.... maybe not.
