Reading about her various statements on this is hilarious. Every one is coached to minimize her responsibility and play up the helpless woman line. " but the fact remains that 40 years ago, he became another young Black man brutalized by our flawed legal system." and "“I will continue to struggle with the role that I unwittingly played within a system that sent an innocent man to jail. "
It's also funny that she didn't even pick him out of the line-up, she picked a different guy and claimed they looked almost identical. Hitting that 'stupid white people can't tell black people apart' stereotype perfectly.
True, but from what I could make out of the article, there was no exoneration of this guy, either. I'm assuming for the moment that some man raped her, and that he was black. It was correct of her to report it and to help the police find the guy. The fact that she couldn't pick him out of a lineup does, and the cops (detectives, whatever) ran with it, implicates the cops. It would be correct to apologize for being wrong, but does she really believe that?

Unwittingly? Was she in a coma while she made this accusation? Wtf are words anyway?
Yeah, at the end of the day, she made the accusation, she testified, she put him there. She doesn't get to offload her responsibility.
