Please do as I did, and write your CA state legislator and ask that they make Brian Banks' false accuser pay back every penny of the settlement they collected. Immediately.

She doesn't have it anymore... So fuck that. Sue the DA, the court that found him guilty, the police that arrested him, every fucking person who allowed a trial to proceed to conviction with zero fucking evidence.

This is a systematic problem, and while yes, false accusers should and must be punished, it is more important to fix the system that allows them to ravage innocent men's lives in exchange for cash, than to make some sort of futile gesture of suing his now bankrupt accuser. What she needs is jail time!

If only there was some sort of institution we could put her in for a set amount of time to punish her for being a terrible person. Maybe some kind of big building with other terrible people and bars on the windows so she cant get out.

You think that is bad?

Not only did she receive a payout, but she was receiving public assistance for awhile and her 2 kids still do because she can't pay child support. How the hell did she burn through 3/4 of a million dollars in less than a decade?

Great idea. Sue a welfare recipient to incur the cost of the lawsuit, collect not one penny, and do Brian no good at all.

While you're writing your letter, encourage your legislator to pass legislation that would make someone who's found guilty of making a false rape allegation a sex offender, just like any other dangerous sexual predator.

Here's how to find your California state rep. Take a few minutes and send a letter:

Just how much was collected?

HoundDogs · 2013-04-04T23:40:04+00:00

This is the first time I had heard of this case. God damn. So awesome he got his life back.

Legislators can't make her do that. Even if they change a law to stop it from happening again, she would be exempt by a grandfather clause. You can't hold somebody accountable for a law that didn't exist at the time that the act happened. Anyway, Brian Banks said on 60 minutes that he wants people to leave her alone, so I'm moving on.

Let the school district or whoever awarded her the money sue her for it, but chances are they won't likely because they (correctly) figure they won't get anything out of it. But she should definitely put charged with perjury, making a false accusation. It is absolutely unacceptable somebody can do what she did and not face criminal charges.
