The other thing that gets me, is that how can the people involved in the justice system let it get that far. She may make a false allegation, but the evidence should prove otherwise. How can all these "experts" and well trained people involved miss so much?
One of the problems with our justice system is that prosecutors often think of themselves as "winning" when they put someone away. Some folks like to win at all costs. They probably get pretty tired of seeing guilty people walk and therefore, are going to be less likely to realize that a person is innocent when the facts start pointing that way.

Does anyone think for a second that if she retracted her story that the prosecution would have continued?
