Why was Brian Banks convicted of rape without dna evidence? ifelsedowhile October 2, 2017 11 upvotes /r/MensRights Why was Brian Banks convicted of rape without dna evidence? Shouldn't guilt be proven beyond any reasonable doubt in criminal courts? Are the US becoming a banana republic where the rule of law is not applied in such cases? I find it hard to consider it a racially motivated conviction considering that the accuser was black and the jury was also mostly black if I recall it correctly. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brian_Banks_(American_football)
