Oh I do believe this woman been raped. But nobody believed her. Or how frustrated she was. He wants Justice. Happens to arrest somebody for they they not do. The men came out for 16 years in the prison. If you believe in God. No man understand what she's been through. And cuz he forgives her. At least he have a sympathy for her. Aba & Preach don't have a sympathy. And you don't believe in God. That's why you don't understand. What is forgiveness means.
Sympathy? So you say nothing regarding the wrongfully accused man who lost almost 2 decades of his life who received nothing but a "sorry"? Forgiveness is not for her benefit, that was for his own. And stop it with the "no man understands what she's been through"...do you understand what it's like to have 16 years of freedom taken from you?
Every dollar she made for those 16 years should be transferred to him. The fact that this isn’t an automatic charge for lying in court and sending someone to prison is ridiculous to me. I feel like in cases like this, the false accuser should serve the exact same amount of time in prison, period.
He should get money from the book publishers, from the movie companies, sue the state or the federal justice system. Man deserved justice from everyone, that woman should lose all money & go to prison too.
*There should be a severe charge for misleading the court and maliciously targeting an innocent man...16 years of his life that will never be recovered! it's painful to watch!*
It sucks because she knows and most likely knew her real rapist was out there. She found the first “fits the description” type of person she could find and took years off his life. He probably gave a hello nodding gesture or something of that nature too like I would, unaware that his fate was sealed at that very moment.
💯 this is bs.. cough up all the money made and goto jail.. 16 yrs is not just the time lost, he lost his ability to save for his future.. being in jail is something you don't just get over, so his future has been negatively effected.. ppl need to be held accountable for their actions..
I say at minimum she deserves assets/royalties redistributed to the man she lied about. Maximum she deserves lashings yearly for every year he wrongly served in prison. He wrongly served 16 years at old age. Just makes me sad. Think about what he missed out on - children, grandkids, vacations, retirement, the chance to save money, freedom, etc.
I’ve been a cop for over 30 years: the fact that eyewitness testimony is still given such weight in the justice system despite example after example of this is both unbelievable and frightening. If there really are significant discrepancies between case transcripts and her book, I too wonder how honest the mistake was, and whether it was a mistake at all. Thanks for sharing gents.
Even more pathetic is that the worthlessness of eyewitness testimony is taught in even low level psych classes alongside how easily memory can be manipulated even by the person themselves, yet many of my contemporaries still defend it like stupid people defending polygraph results.
Yea I'm thinking that years had went by after she was viciously assaulted and raped the suspect had not been caught. Thus her PTSD and anger told her SOMEONE has to pay.
@@dunbarf2413 Displacement is a psychological defense mechanism in which a person redirects a negative emotion from its original source to a less threatening recipient. A classic example of the defense is displaced aggression. Classic example would be the employee who has trouble at work, but cannot take it out on the boss, so he/she takes it out on the kids and dog at home. In this case, she was unable to find her original attacker and SOMEONE HAD TO PAY.
@@dunbarf2413 Maybe that's true for her. Maybe that's not. Idk. But even after this court hearing she could have probably done a bit more to help if she really was sorry
Maybe she's sorry, maybe not. But her actions indicate he is still a black man. And, she isn't responsible for her mistake. It's the old saying that all black people look alike. It ruined a black man's life. And his freedom.
@@curtisstewart9426 my God, stfu with that stupidity. This has nothing to do with him being a black man. This has everything to do with a major problem in the justice system and that is the use of eyewitness testimony. People are misidentified at a high rate when it comes to eyewitness testimony and the courts have put to high of evidentiary value on it. Studies have shown people who have traumatic experiences tend to misremember key aspects of that experience.
Well if you identify someone who you truly believe did it , you can’t be held accountable, but if you do it on purpose knowing he’s not the guy then yeah life sentence for you.
When I was 16 I was falsely accused by a woman at work and was consequently fired. My father told me then to always keep your distance from women at work, don't even talk to them. Now I'm 40 and have followed that advice and never got in trouble since
she just admitted to perjury, robbing a man of 16 years suffering in prison, and the publisher is going to let her still sell her book... and she has no legal repercussions? The privilege women have in the legal system is incredible.
Well she didn't pick him out of the lineup she picked a different guy but the lawyers said it didn't matter and went after Broadwater. I think that would be the defense.
@@deedeebee9191 women. A Black man got accused by a Black woman of rape, got a 5 million dollar settlement, ruined his chances to get an NFL career and scholarship, confessed to the lie on video and got no repercussions.. yall are in it also
The wording of her statement says it all. She doesn’t want to publicly accept responsibility for what she’s done, but knew she had to release something.
Might be also because she knows she could be liable for civil damages at the very least, and considering she wrote a book off of him, she could be on the hook for a lot of money. Of course, first the guy would have to find the money to sue, which might not be possible considering he hasn't had an income source for a decade and a half
She knew he was innocent from the get go. She picked someone literally off the street to blame, and made an apology that sounded like she had nothing to do with him being charged and convicted.
@UCjQP1I0Zn_zIprjX1LEf7bQ Don't care if she's was really graded. I care that you can point to anyone and accuse them and they get 16 years. The DA and police have the obligation to follow up. The new said she was walking down a specific street when she came face to face with the one she said did it. She pointed him out. If I get in a hit and run accident. 2 weeks later see you in a parking lot get the police and say it was you cause I saw you and you have to pay me. Am I wrong? I was really hit, I have trauma too. She picked a black man and aided in railroading him for 16 years of his life plus the trauma being in prison as a grapist.
I love how expressive Preach is. He makes it obvious how he feels. I can relate to that. But there's something about Aba. You can tell when he's _seriously_ upset. His demeanor changes. Almost like he's putting in more effort to remain stoic and not overreact. Much respect. One of the best duos when it comes to discussing these issues.
Clearly not enough. And her fame was built on her writing about her assault… that’s the part that gets me. She profited off of this story of how they caught the person she accused and wrapped everything up in a neat little true crime story…
@@claudexlucien it’s the Justice system’s fault, not mine! Even though I was the one who identified him as my rapist. Even though I lied about it to the police and in court! Even though I continually lied about it for 16 years! It’s not my fault, I’m the victim here! I was raped that one time I can’t even remember when!
This woman author needs to go prison for her false accusation. And the wrongly convicted man needs to be awarded millions of dollars tax-free for being wrongly convicted.
She also monetized her experience. She presented a warped version of the experience to make it more marketable. She profited from this man's pain. I am not questioning if she was indeed sexually assaulted or not but one should be completely positive with their identification of a perpetrator. The risk of ripping people's life from them, of destroying families and relationships because you may 'think' this person is the perpetrator of some crime is a crime in itself. A moral crime.
I doubt she was ever raped. If she was she would want the real perp locked up not running around the street. She's a vile twat who lied about being raped because she knew she could monetize it in this age of women being perpetual victims.
her life was ruined as well as after all she was brutally raped by someone who didn't spend a day in prison for what he did. maybe her memories were blocked because of trauma - who knows what was going on in her mind. the thing is ptsd can do mad things to a person.
I hate statements like yours not because I don't agree with it but because it has become so common place to spout off. It's not an actionable statement. In other for statements like this to become a thing there should be a planned action behind it to change the law. All these manosphere content producers will make a living of highlighting the obvious. You would think that with all their combined million followers they would start a petition and invite their subscribers to sign it and effect real change but they never fail to ask us to like, comment and subscribe.
@@Uzodesign I absolutely agree with you. Which is why I don't even say anything myself. If people truly want change, get your ass off and march down to city hall or write angry letters to your local governments, but sitting behind your computer or iphone spouting for justice ain't gonna do shit. As matter of fact, I believe this people do not even care. What they really care for is their daily drama feed. They are rambling, but not moving.
Too true! The system needs to do this. One of my mates got falsely accused when we were teens. We had to watch him around the clock to make sure he wouldn't end himself. Scary asf.
Wrongfully? Shes Maliciously accused the guy. She must pay or die. She robbed the guy life. Thats why this grape bullshit need to stop; Less than 1 % of all accusations have any base to be prossecuted, less than that get convicted and its not uncommon to find ppl that are inocent. Those women MUST be Burried under the prision.;
This man deserves all the profits made off the book she wrote. That would be the most fitting as far as restitutions go but I’m not expecting much tbh.
Lovely Bones is about the death of a girl and the parents never finding her body, the killer is faking his niceness and secret killer identity And the author is lying about this poor man and it has been found out afyer 16 years Ironi
I've only spent 6 months in prison as a result of a false accusation, and the level of anger I feel for those 6 months of my life taken is overwhelming at times. I can't imagine how I would feel after 16 years. Absolutely terrifying.
The woman built her entire career on setting up the guy. She needs to be sued into oblivion and if possible charged with perjury and more. What a nasty, disgusting person.
@@bleechrcreechrr I agree, he should get the book profits from her. she may not have been lying but HE certainly was wronged by her and the system that did not verify her testimony. DNA was in its infancy then, but that is why good forensics is important. On top of him being compensated by her, he needs to be compensated by the state. He lost not only his freedom but his name and key earning power years. At 61 he, even if he was a garbage man he cannot go back into the workforce with the same value he had at 45
The fact he was still convicted without legit evidence is a grave injustice. She should have some punishment administered. She took time from this man.
Yeah because on most rape allegations women get 100% benefit of the doubt. Men have to prove their innocence and women just need to show up and it’s 45 years so bs. Even if the woman was the rapist they get light ass sentences 5-10 years compared to a man gets 25-45 years. Woman complain on not being treated equally but if we treated everyone equally all these fake rape allegations would be put in jail and throw away the key.
@@ivanangeli this is gonna sound very sadistic. But i don’t think it would be for his sake. But to prevent others like her from comitting similar crimes
The did a show in the early 90's about men exonerated by DNA after a woman testified he was the r*pest . 1 woman was extremely upset she made a mistake the other three; didn't faze them one bit. Their response; I'm sure he hurt some woman at some point in time. It was obvious they didn't care who paid for their r*pe as long as a man went to jail. I've never looked at women the same again.
What shits me so hard is that she essentially said “I’m sorry this happened to you”. Not… “I’m sorry I DID THIS to you”. Very, very different tones. That poor man.
I’m sorry this happened to you. She separated herself from her own sick act! She wants no part in her own false accusations!!!! She literally refuses to identify with her own actions!!! Sick sick sick .
Womanists have a free reign to shyte on men, and the good ones are to quiet about this. Generally all women will never agree for this to be corrected since they will portray it as curtailing gains against the patriarchy. Men go your own way.
I'll say this. I've said it before. There needs to be a law against people who lie about this. Or more specifically there needs to be more punishment for this.
16 years. Almost 2 decades of being wrongly incarcerated, is just heart shattering. Not knowing if you’ll ever get the justice you deserve being confined for years. Some people aren’t as “lucky” (seriously for lack of better words) and they die in there, falsely accused.
Since she wants to point fingers at the justice system as if she wasn’t the one that accused him, then let’s encourage women like her be held accountable. Throw them behind bars the same length the true victim spent in prison.
If she knew for a long time the wrong man was in prison, why didn't she say something? If she really was attacked, wouldn't she want the real attacker behind bars? Is this a case of all men are rapists, so any one of them in prison will do, or is this a case of she never was attacked, just an attention seeker of the worse kind that just picked anyone on the streets. Because a true victim would want the real attacker off the streets to stop them doing it again, and as punishment for what they did. She should give this man EVERY penny she's earned since he was locked up.
She literally gained millions of fans millions of dollars profiting off of his wrongful conviction and her wrongful admission including testifying in court. HE SHOULD SUE HER FOR EVERY DIME
Glad someone else thinks the same Shes destroyed his life, even with an exoneration people will still think he was guilty and treat him bad Hope he gets millions
I understand that impulse, but I also think that if I were ever in that situation, I would stay as far away from a courtroom as possible. I would be terrified to ever go to law enforcement/ court for anything ever again. I hope he can find peace with his freedom & not live in fear.
@@stacin821 Fuck that. Go in there with revenge and play the black card. Make her seem like a fucked up racist white lady that got whistled at and crush her reputation
I was literally about to write something similar! Please sue the SH*T out of her! OMG This woman really profited off his innocent life then had the audacity to not want to change the book to reflect his innocence! This dimension we are living in is ridiculous! I hate it here!
This happened to my friend minus the jail time. He was falsely accused for sexual assault and got kicked out from his University. He was found innocent and the trial never went further than a police report, but the University still banned him. The woman that accused him never received a punishment of some sort for false accusation. Tells you a lot huh
That what happened to Armaan Premjee. He had sex with a girl who was mad drunk. He did not see her drinking nor did he give her anything. She led him back to her apartment and the next day her roommate called police. The girl was admitted to the hospital for alcohol poisoning and obviously they did a rape kit. The girl does not remember the encounter but says she was not raped. But state law says otherwise so he was kicked out of university, a trial happened, and because of the club video he ended up being exonerated. However the university didn’t want to reinstate him so he had to file a civil suit and eventually they let him back in. The girl he slept with if I’m not mistaken refused to cooperate or didn’t want anything to do with the trial because she said she was not raped. He was lucky that the victim said that she was not raped and there was video evidence to prove that it but not everybody is that lucky.
Ah, I remembered back in elementary school when if a kid didn't like you, all he/she needed to do is accuse you of a class crime and you get punished without the chance to defend yourself. I got punished so many times for school crimes I didn't commit, it seriously messed me up. Good ol' days.
There should be a severe charge for misleading the court and maliciously targeting an innocent man...16 years of his life that will never be recovered! it's painful to hear and watch! She should be charged, loose everything she earned from her books she wrote and the movie that was made about him. Disgusting!! That so called apology means nothing, shame on her.
@@suzygirl1843 there are plenty of other race women that also get away with shit, Cardi B admitted to drugging and robbing guys... Where's her punishment?
Prosecutors and judges get off without even "sorry". The system is broken because nobody in the system is held accountable. Not because some girl lied or messed up. The system should have determined that there's not enough evidence.
This is a very touching and insightful story in terms of being glad for his clearance and freedom and knowing even the courts can make mistakes BUT, I'm going to be that person, this whole thing seems a bit fishy to me.
If you read her whole statement, you will see that she uses her "apology" as a way to criticize the justice system for being racist instead of her taking ownership over what she did. She did not identify him in the police lineup yet she still went all these years letting everyone believe he did it.
You can't blame the system if you're the one who took the stand and said he was the one who did it. She deserves to be publicly shamed, to pay him for his trauma and go to jail for a minimum of what he had to serve.
I’d rather they award him all the money she made during that 16 years. I think helping him rebuild his life is more important than punishing her. But if we can do both, do that too. I just also want to throw out that we remember she was raped by someone else. She just did the unthinkable of blaming someone who was innocent for it.
There should be a mandatory minimum sentence for false accusers. The fact she can get away with this unpunished is sickening and so many people failed this man. It's just sad all around
No amount of apologies, restitution or public retractions can replace 16 years of confinement, humiliation and self doubt. I hope the writer gets all the karma she so richly deserves.
Oh she's sorry. She's sorry. Guys she's sorry, imagine how she must feel knowing she wrongly accused someone... Fuck. Right. Off. Until people like this serve jail time this is going to keep happening. The way she worded that "apology" as if it were out of her control, like it fell out of the sky and there was nothing she could do guys! That man must be something else to accept that apology.
It's not like he had a choice if he lashed out ( he had every right to) people would say what failure of a man . I personally used to have friends thst think like this crazy !
She probably had that apology drafted by someone else,notice when the reporter ask her she said nothing and kept walking her dog,if she was truly sorry she would have said it.
She didn't really accept it. That was a politician apology with no accountability. The only proper justice is to have that woman on trial and get the proper, fair treatment
You think our society holds these women to any accountability? XDD she is going to get away with it with 0 fucks given. Guarantee you she doesn't even feel bad about it, the apology is just so they leave her alone.
@@raheemcamal998 she replied with im sorry u got ur life robbed from u, she didnt say im sorry for wrongfully lieing and profiting off u while u sat behind bars for 20 years.
There was more to the apology than they read. I took the video at face value too, but when I went to see if she would be seeing any consequences, I learned that she actually was raped, just not by him. She picked someone else out of the lineup, but the investigators convinced this rape victim that it wasn't the guy she picked out but this guy. There was a miscarriage of justice, just not entirely the one you think. She still has a lot of blame, but given the circumstances, the investigators, the court, and the jury all share it.
I think we often miss who we should really look into for these unjust imprisonments, the prosecutors. We need to start penalizing them for chasing wins rather than justice.
Fucking preach. The cops who investigated failed, the DA who went forward with charges and the trail failed and the jury if there was one failed this man.
In a perfect society.... They would both do time. Hell I'd even lock up the asshole lawyer that helped this demon lady frame an innocent man. Hold everyone accountable. I'd guarantee false accusations disappear overnight.
Prosecutors job is to prosecute. Whether someone is clearly guilty or not, everyone is entitled to having legal protection while in court. If you were a prosecutor, you would get some cases where the person is innocent, other times not so. Heck, you may not even be 100% certain whether your client is guilty or not. That's not your job. It's the job of the judge and jury.
So she saw this random man on the street, months after the attack, and says “yeah that’s him.” That’s all it took to convict this man. Crazy, sad, disgusting. And Aba, you’re on to something, sir. Forgiveness isn’t about the other person. It doesn’t mean they weren’t wrong. It’s about you letting go of the bitterness so it doesn’t eat you up inside.
Not necessarily... Your client can point to anyone, but if the legal system is on par, then evidence must be provided. The system did him wrong, not her. She could have mistaken him, just like i mistaken people for friends all the time on the street
@@HALFAMAZINGTV So why all these years if her being quite then? If it was truly a mistake why didn't she come out and say it was not him? This woman was not being genuine at all in this case and instead banked off this poor man's suffering she could have said something but she chose not to.
No that's not how it happened and I wish these guys had researched the case. This woman identifies suspect number five in a lineup. This guy was suspect number four. The prosecutor was out for this guy for some reason. They went ahead and convicted this guy who was actually innocent. This woman assumed that she must have misidentified her attacker because why else would the prosecutors convict this man if they supposedly had all the evidence pointing towards him. This is really an issue with the justice system. Now this woman could have pointed out inconsistencies but she probably told herself that she was just confused. We all know that these white women especially young white women trust the legal system. Black people know better from an early age. She has some fault but not much really. Is these prosecutors. They want to get a guilty verdict and they pick the person who is easiest to convict and that's what happened here. Plus they were white and they didn't care at all about this black man.
I still don't understand why the accuser doesn't face any jail time after being found false. This evokes a special kind of anger all men can relate to.
As a man i understand where u are coming from but i get why ppl dont get to go to jail. A rape victim at that. Moment they can only remember features and then see a person with those features and believe that person did that to them
@Rosa M lol @sensible… lady most PEOPLE have no common sense let alone.. sensible this goes double for women when things of this nature get brought up..
A male feminist by the name of David Angier is quoted to have said "If anyone is prosecuted for filing of false reports, then victims of the real attack will be less likely to report them."
@@gregscruggs What is to say she even got raped, if she lies about who did it. Just because she "can see similair features" in the man without proof she shouldnt accuse.
Props to this man for how he’s going about it! I To this woman and the likes of her, apologies are not gonna suffice! You don’t do that to another human being and then distance yourself from the situation by saying what 16 yrs has taken away from him instead of saying “I robbed you 16 yrs of your life” Prison didn’t do that to him, YOU did it! I would pull her books from the shelves. 16 yrs is hard enough, this man no matter how much he’s will to let go, will never be the same for the rest of his life while she goes on to live her best life. Fk no! She deserves to feel everything he felt!
That's because editors, directors, and producers are always trying to make sure continuity always lines up and matches shoot to shoot. There was so many holes he saw that shit without being trained in legal jargon and this bitch still got this man prosecuted.
I saved a girl from assault in college, put myself in a position to fight 3 dudes She was passed on the floor Went through her phone got her mom's number called her mom To come get her, only to have her mom show up with the police .. And arrest me for not calling 911 And I became suspect #1 I was a kid myself, i figured the Mom would call 911, just not on me. I didn't even know the girl, she came and pounded on my dorm door and collapse on the floor when I opened It... All this happened in a matter of minutes, not RU-vid comment time... But real time. The cops were pissed wyte girl, I'm a blk dude they roughed me up pretty bad...

Honestly I’m not even going to lie to you, I’m gonna be pissed until Alice Seabold faces some consequences for having a innocent man arrested for 16 years on rape charges. Anthony Broadwater lost so much of his life all because of her
I am enraged and disappointed that there was no "my" or "I" in her apology. But my anger for her only extends so far, I am more angered and disappointed in the police who investigated, the DA that proceeded with charges and the jury who is a defendants last line of defense against being wrongfully convicted and incarcerated, so many people failed this man.
@@arnelleprophete9886 I agree, but I also know that the justice system is supposed to be the stop gap for wrongful convictions vis a vie The police who investigate a crime if they fail a DA/Prosecutor is supposed to move forward or not based on the evidence collected by the police and a jury and or Judge is supposed to be the final line of defense to a defendant to stop a wrongful or false prosecution.
I honestly thought some sort of evidence was needed for a conviction. All I hear is it's her word and that seemed to be evidence enough. What the actual
We had a teenager blame another of rape here. There was security footage of them going together into the shop and coming out together like nothing happened. If my daughter hadn't been in the locker room and been there when she admitted it wasn't rape then he'd have been charged. His dad was so upset he bawled like a baby and thanked my daughter for coming forward. This has to stop.
Thank God for your daughter. That young man's life was literally about to be ruined forever. And sad part is even though he's been proven innocent the accusation will still be brought up because the lie is always louder than the truth unfortunately.
@@indiashante1560 thankfully we live in a small town and she ended up with all the blame but if it had been a larger campus or city, you're right. She graduates this year like nothing happened but he will forever mistrust females and his family is living with PTSD. I was so upset that a 16yr old would do this WITH her mother's support! Her father called bullshit and wouldn't be a part of it but the mom kept going. The detective told me it was mostly adults that were coming to her with heresay from their kids. My daughter was one of 2 that actually had 1st hand information. The other 2 girls that were there never said a word.
You have raised a good one. God bless your daughter and I wish her all the best. Did she receive any backlash from other girls for not going with the girl’s accusations? Sometimes we observe that women have a strong in group preference.
And the stigma that stays with him even after he was exonerated. The absolute cruelty. She needs to pay him all the proceeds from her books and serve jail time.
I vote for a woman having to do double time that the accused had to serve. Sentence her to 32 years. No chance for parole, no early release for "good behaviour." Send a message that this behaviour will absolutely not be tolerated.
Really? No man understands what “she’s been through”? So is she saying men can’t be sexually assaulted or raped? This kind of mentality makes zero sense to me
All proceeds and royalties from her “best-selling” book and movie should go towards supporting this man’s livelihood!! This petition needs to be started NOW.
@@spinskate7386 pretty sure this could happen in any combination of races swapped in. It's a man vs woman thing more but good attempt at making it a racial issue.
I think anyone who’s responsible for wrongful imprisonment should have to serve twice the amount of time behind bars that the person you had wrongfully imprisoned did.
That would be nice but I would settle for equal time. Every hour I had to spend not understanding you get to spend understanding that your a trash human. Or however many years I was in, I get that same number in millions.
I think that's not a great rule. I see where you're coming from, but I also think it's important to make a distinction between a person who just made up a story and a person who made a genuine mistake. Maybe she really thought it was her rapist (I am talking about this specific case, just in general).
When you read her “apology” it could’ve been given by anyone. She makes it sound like she’s an innocent third party who played no role in what happened. She doesn’t take responsibility for anything she did to him.
She kinda is though…. She didn’t even see this guy when she was walking home from class, apparently it was a DIFFERENT black man who was at a bar who called her out which she called the police on…. Said black guy wasn’t there when the police showed up 45 minutes later, but after getting a description, the officer said, “Ohh yeah I know who that is…” and then picked up Broadwater. Hell, during the line up, she identified another guy instead of Broadwater, but the prosecutors coached her, telling her that “Ohh yeah Broadwater and this guy are friends, he brought him over to confuse you”…. If y’all want to get angry, get angry at the system, not the 18 year old kid who was used as an excuse by the pigs to condemn an innocent man 🙄
@@gurtegbedi1172 no, she deserves to get this hate. You DO NOT accuse someone that you don't know for sure did something, even if someone coached her to do so. That is a garbage take excusing vile behaviour.
I was just saying that if it weren't for him the poor gentleman would still be locked up. I can imagine how many other men are locked up for crimes they didn't commit.
The real problem lies in the fact that there is no repercussions for the woman making the false accusations. That man should file a civil suit against her and sue her for everything she has and ruin her financially. She needs to suffer for what she did to this man.
and as long as there continues to be no repercussions, this will continue to happen. I mean think about it. If you were a malicious woman, or you’re trying to get custody of the kids in a messy divorce, or if your just a scorned, vindictive c*nt, why WOULDNT you use this? It’s an ace-in-the-hole, instant IWIN button essentially. No downside to doing a false accusation. If it gets found out, the government/justice system just goes “🤷🏻♂️”.
Can he even though? She took his life away. Idk what they did to his income while he was rotting away for 16 years in that cell. I do agree that he should, but looking at his response I think he eventuly let go of his anger and just wants to be a part of society again.
@@crowofjudgement4718 16 years is a long time. There was probably a lot of thought. He just decided to let it go. Which is good. But I still personally think he should've sued her. He was imprisoned unjustly for 16 years, due to what she had told the police, and people in court. And he has every right to. But I'm glad he's at peace with his situation and hopefully can return to life to try to restructure it. This is definitely an issue that needs to be looked at though.
In these situations it wouldn't surprise me if the exonerated or a loved one of the exonerated would murder or assault the accuser. I cannot promise if I were the guy who spent 16 years behind bars if I saw her I would not go Rambo.
Just like Preach said, I wish I had what he had. That is very high level sprituality skill, which is an ability to overcome pain, sadness, anger and despair. Very important for maintaining mental health and sanity status. Because just like Aba said, I would go mad if I were him. Like hell mad, I'll probably go berserk then make everything worse. But probably he just want peace in his age now, which is understandable. About the accuser, gosh. Imagine writing a book about this, but then realize it doesn't matching up and make sense with the story on the court, so adding stuff up to the book. Realize that the man in jail high possibility not guilty, and the real guilty one still out there free. But she keep willing to shut her mouth and accused the wrong man, for 16 years!! Because she's making money and symphaty from it. That's messed up in so many level. I don't think there will be peace for that women.
Imagine all the people who got lied on and don't have anybody looking out for them? Or worse people accused of rape usually get hurt or ended in prison so he was lucky
Notice the way she spoke about it. " was robbed from you", "was taken from you". Bitch YOU robbed him and YOU took it from him. She tried to detach the results of HER accusation from herself. She should be saying "I'M sorry for what I TOOK from you, what I STOLE from you, what I DID to you". Respect to him for his gracious attitude, but I couldn't help but notice it. That's the worst thing for me. Her lack of accountability.
Respect to the guy who has moulded and focused his negative emotions from this experience into a much more wonderful outlook! Although having said that, I would be very Suprised iff some of his family don't hold her to account in some form or other!! SHE GONNA BE WATCHING HER BACK 4 THE REST OF HER LIFE!!
As a Clinical Psychologist I'm always amazed at the strength of the human spirit. Solitary confinement was designed to torment the soul because the average human cannot deal with their own isolated thoughts. Imagine 16 years of battling a repetitive idea knowing what you did/didn't do. It is the ultimate spiritual death sentence. Thank you for covering this story.
That's how i feel about Mothers and Child Support they put you in a mental prison over a child and make false accusations and lies to keep you far away it's basically the same tactic to a degree men never get equality but women scream for it on a daily........
Here are some feminist quoted to enjoy and ruminate upon: “If anyone is prosecuted for filing a false report, then victims of real attacks will be less likely to report them.” - David Angier “Men who are unjustly accused of rape can sometimes gain from the experience.” - Catherine Comins “As long as some men use physical force to subjugate females, all men need not. The knowledge that some men do suffices to threaten all women. He can beat or kill the woman he claims to love; he can rape women…he can sexually molest his daughters… THE VAST MAJORITY OF MEN IN THE WORLD DO ONE OR MORE OF THE ABOVE.” - Marilyn French (her emphasis) “In general, I support a girl’s right to offend any member of the opposite sex who happens to cross her path. In fact, I’d much rather see a little girl wearing a shirt that mocks boys than one that turns them on.” - Treena Shapiro
@@devbratjoshixxqptjcxdl1445 no best to be simply aware of their work and just use their words against them. Everytime they tell us feminism is about men too, pull up this list and wipe their noses with it.
Imagine what he had to endure inside those prison walls 16 years for that type of crime…. That woman is terrible, she needs to be held accountable for all of that suffering
The fact only a few people will think about. Even if nobody threatens you it’s excruciating in those thick walls. I Pray God protected him and poured love into him all those years
She deserves 16 years in prison and he deserves every penny that she has ever gotten from her books and other media! Her apology is as worthless as her reputation is now.
I love how Aba explains things in a larger scale. The fact that people in prison have to "let go to survive" is so profound and I never thought about it like that.
for me, Preach, is an incredibly human. Speaking from the heart about how he still has angry towards incidents in his own past and he doubts he could forgive.
Might be the realest thing ever said. I’m lucky enough that my accuser didn’t know I was on the clock, and on camera at my job when she said I did it. Known false-accuser. Her repercussion wasn’t even a slap on the wrist.
If that apology was sincere she would have said “I’m sorry I wrongly accused you”, and I’m sorry for lying and having you incarcerated for something I knew you didn’t do. I’m sorry for stealing your life”
Yea, you'd think that someone who writes for a living would have a better, well thought out apology. Then again, she did what she did so she mustn't be empathetic at all.
@@PhantomFilmAustralia of course not, I can see any and all profits from the lovely bones book and movie being retroactively paid to him. As it should be
Shouldn’t women be criminally charged for this ? She just continues to live her life without any consequences? Do you know what inmates do to child molestors , rapist etc.? The horrible atrocities this man most likely suffered for 16 years just makes you even more mad .
Won't happen. The feminist lobby will sacrifice every innocent accused if it is only to preserve the voice of a liar coz they believe it would reflect badly on their movement.
“IF it’s sincerely from her heart, I can accept it.” He knew it wasn’t sincere, but that’s the best answer he could come up with without getting sent back to prison. This stuff happens too much.
The worst part is no one respects nor tolerates r*pushy or people who prey on the vulnerable in prison so it’s a very good chance he spent those 16 years in being in confinement the entire time for his protection or he could have been attacked and had terrible things done to him because of her lie. People rarely mention that part of these wrongful conviction cases
I'm a vengeful dude, I'd sue her for everything she got. I just wish that all these false accusations were criminally prosecuted. This man has true heart and deserves all the respect in the world.
Yeah. Not only that, but compensation for the family and friends that were robbed of time with him too. There's more hurt here than just him alone. This affects many other people.
There was a case few years ago in Bangladesh, where a woman put man in proson accusing him of grape, days later his buddies burnt her alive. This is why women in Bangladesh think twice before going to the authorities. It is kinda savage but it’s their Androcentric culture.
@@Jeromeparker5150 Exactly, 16 years of my life gone. I'm going the "eye for an eye" way - I'd not be able to reconcile everything with a society/justice system that allowed it to happen.
He got 16 years in prison, and then he also had to go door-to-door and faced lost opportunities due to being a registered sex offender. Horrible thing to do to somebody and no amount of money can truly fix that. Frankly, this man should be demanding more than “I’m sowwy” from everyone involved.
Takes a special kind of evil to sit through interview after interview with cops, lawyers, judges, your family,, their family, book publishers, friends that trust you lying straight to their faces about someone else for something so horrible.
She apologized for his situation, but she never admitted guilt. She gave sworn testimony on a Bible to tell the truth, and lied. From that, she got an international best selling book, and a movie deal, while a God-fearing, innocent man was left to be beaten, sodomized, and to rot in prison for sixteen years---and was only released by a movie producer crosschecking transcripts for the film. If this is permitted by an infallible supreme being, then God is either accountable of sixteen years of egregious negligence, never was, or abandoned us a long time ago.
I encourage everyone to read articles detailing of how this story broke out, because it is infuriating. This is coming from someone who read Lovely Bones and read articles about how Alice's Lucky Memoir was undergoing production. I think the thing that angers me most is the fact that the man, Tim Mucciante (executive producer) realized the numerous holes in Alice's memoir and he hired a private investigator to do more digging before Netflix continued with it. The worst part is that the production was strongly leaning to casting a white male as the rapist instead of black, because Karen Moncrief (director) did not feel comfortable publishing the narrative of white women putting black men in prison. (Although this was all Sebold talked about in her memoir) And the production did not feel comfortable either. WTF?? A little too late for that. And when the truth broke out, Alice's apology was not even an apology. Because this woman had 16 years to think, CONTEMPLATE, and most importantly admit she was wrong. SN: Fixed a mistake! It was Karen Moncrief who wanted the race change in accordance to Tim's accounts!
She had more than 16 years to contemplate. Anthony was released in 1999, they same year her memoir was published. She's nearly had 20 more years to say something but she's didn't
@@msgeenee1597 A lot of people are saying that he lost 16 years of life. That time only counts for how long he was incarcerated. What about all those years he was registered as a sex offender, and how it closed the doors on other job opportunities? The stigma limited the company he was able to keep, and how even though he married, they chose not to have children because he didn’t want them to live under that stigma. 16 years of undeserved incarceration, and about 22 years of being falsely registered as a sex offender. That’s 38 years of pain, knowing that you are innocent, but your life was signed away all the same. I hope that man finds some peace. Whether or not Sebold will compensate him, it’s hard to say. If the director didn’t do his own digging into the story, who knows how long the truth would have stayed hidden.
Was it a case of mistaken identity? Or was she never assaulted? Was there no evidence? No DNA? Kudos to the guy who went over her book and picked it apart and freed an innocent man.
That's what I was wondering. Because imagine living 16years knowing damn well you put someone innocent behind bars. Even more evil if nothing ever happened to her in the first place
I’m wondering the same thing since they removed the book. If she was r-worded I wouldn’t believe her at all now! She should go broke paying him back for his life losses or she should go to jail for the total years he was initially sentenced 16+yrs.
Sad! I love how her apology takes no responsibility or accountability. Like "sorry if you being wrongfully lock away for 16 years made you feel bad or whatever"
@@benedibrava but the judge wasn't at the scene of the crime and can only judge the case based off the facts. Now facts that he were giving were lies but he didn't know that at the time
What’s worse is that she almost accuses the system. Now, the system often acts against men like this but she seems to blame it entirely as opposed to the fact that she benefitted from said system.
This happened to a kid my parents fostered. He served almost 3 years, was removed from college (1st semester of freshman year) and lost his innocent light. Only because the girl had a crush on him and her friends saw her getting off an elevator w him and they were making jokes. She went along w one of the jokes and the friends reported it as she was r*ap*ed. She was "too embarrassed" to say it was a lie. Thankfully my Dad was a pastor and knew inmates that protected him behind the wall. He is now married w a family, went on to finish college, and helps mentor boys in foster care.
"Believe ALL women" leads to innocent men being put in jail for many years and worse, young black men being beaten to death over a woman who lies. I say take a claim seriously, but never outright take it as 100% fact without proof. Cause I would lose my mind if I lost 16 years of my life from one woman's false accusations. And I don't think money would quench that anger and she better go to jail for her sake, not mine.
This is where the problem is. How do you prove a grape? I get that this is a serious problem and than not given proper punishment legally it is going to just grow from now on, but how much more does an actual grape happen more than a false accusation? Women who get graped and don't get justice suffer from a similar kind of anger and rage. Since it is much more common why should they not be believed? There is a complex solution to this problem that needs to be applied. Just like a grape, a false accusation is something bad a bad person might to and after proven they should be jailed for as long as their victims but the believe all woman has to still stand. Women on the other hand HAVE to keep each other accountable because real victims get discredited that way...
@@thelordoftime803 I mean, by that stage, you probably got less than 16 years to live anyway in his age. What more can he do with his life other than count the time away waiting to die in perhaps terrible poor conditions as you have no money, no job and no means of a prosperous future. Meanwhile this bitch made her fortune in this same time and even wanted to cash in and made a book about her "ordeal". I won't condone anything this man might or might not do. But I won't blame either.
First thing I noticed, and that Aba pointed out, is that she distanced herself from his injustice. "I am sorry that X happened to you." There was no 'I' in the misdeed. 'It happened' to him.
