'Every district attorney’s nightmare': Two men exonerated in 1991 rape claim

Eventually, additional evidence and new interviews led the woman to admit that the rape "never happened." She recanted her testimony and said her boyfriend had pressured her to falsely accuse Perry and Counts, the district attorney's office said. The woman won't face charges because the statute of limitations has expired, the Associated Press reported.

It sucks that you can ruin someone's life and get away with it if enough time passes without people realizing it.

Yes, the DA who got hoodwinked is the victim here. Not the two men who had their lived and reputations stolen from them.

No, we should feel bad for the DA who didn't bother investigating properly before going home to his family every night for the past decades while two innocent men bore the brunt of his short-sighted zeal.

"It is every prosecutor’s nightmare to convict an innocent person," Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance, Jr. said in a statement

Yeah... that works when the cameras are rolling but what he really means is it's a nightmare when they can't suppress facts that unravel the egregious railroading of a potentially innocent convict who was nothing more than a tally on a politically ambitious prosecutor's record.

I hope that woman has a lot of money so these men can sue her into a grave.

Good thing people are innocent until PROVEN guilty. Right guys? Right?

How can an Accusation without Physical evidence or witness's lead to a conviction?

Failure on so many levels...what is wrong with the Jury.

Positively vile.

Those prosecutors should be removed, at the very least.

Well at least they're not calling it justice like some. Jailed wrongly for years is in no way just.

The Jury is probably named Bruce or Andrea.

Typical pussy pass

Too little too late.

You already ruined their lives.

In the court of public opinion they will never be innocent.

They will not get any compensation.

Hello lawsuits.
