I'm NOT saying she should have carte blanche. I'm NOT saying she shouldn't have to have some type of punitive measures for wrongly indentifying that man but for the love of all things holy she was RAPED. Until you have had that happen to you, you cannot even begin to comprehend the affect it has on someone's psyche. Do you think after the trial she went back to being a happy, normal teenager? I highly doubt that. That shit stays with you for the Rest Of Your Life.
Neither of those two people will ever have their lives back the way it was before the incident.
Obviously, I'm coming at this from an emotional angle as a woman and you're coming at this from an analytical angle as men. We will not agree on this issue.
