I really don't think the rape victim did anything deserving of punishment. If it turns out that she knowingly lied when identifying this man, she should be punished, but I doubt that that is the case. I think that she mistakenly misidentified him. That's not a crime. This situation is a reflection of the problem of depending on eyewitness testimony. Many people convicted based on eyewitness testimony have had their verdicts overturned when new evidence such as DNA has been introduced.

Again, I do feel very sorry for him, and I think that he should be compensated for his incarceration.
