We are human, we make mistakes. Horrible mistakes sometimes. We're not perfect. Making a mistake such as wrongly identifying an attacker and putting him away in jail is not excusable but unfortunately, the world isn't as black and white and cut and dry as you seem to be making it. Emotions are involved, lives are involved. You're making it sound as if this woman connived to get this man in prison. We don't know what really happened at those trials, we probably never will. We don't know what other factors are involved, what kind of evidence there was, how good the lawyers were at spinning their stories to sway the judge and jury.
C'mon people, I watch Law and Order. I know how this shit goes down! 
Rudey - Her discomfort and issues are with her forever. As are the man's memories of 22 years in prison. They are not the same, neither can be compared as worse than the other, but they are both permanent markers on their lives.

So tomorrow this man rapes the woman. Will you defend it in some sense by saying his emotions were involved and all that good stuff? I mean it seems that if we use this logic a vicious cycle occurs where people do awful things to each other over and over and it won't stop because emotions are involved, etc.
