This is Ironic

I wrote an article talking about was it really rape or mishap? I shared how I was a 13 year old girl who was going out with an older guy. How I chose to sleep with him. I didn't go to the police and say, "Oh, he raped me." Then I said if there is someone who has lied on someone falsely, you send them to jail or prison. You need to go forth and tell the truth. This woman is not the only teenager who has put an innocent person into jail or prison. There are a lot of people in jail or prison because someone yelled rape.

It's time out for this foolishness of people being marked as sex offenders when they're not. Let's cover this story together.

America, I want you to think about what the word justice means. The dictionary says justice means: The quality of being just, fairness. The upholding of what is just esp. fair treatment and due reward in accordance with honor, standards or law. The administration and procedure of law.

Subject: rape conviction set aside after accuser admits lie. Brian Franklin served 21 years of life sentence for raping a 13 year old was freed on $10,000 Thursday after his accuser admitted that she lied.

Highlights: Brain Franklin, a former Fort Worth police officer, who served 21 years of life sentence for raping 13 year old (lied), but the woman is now in her 30s. Sam Jordan spokeswoman for the Tarrant Court District Attorney's Office said Thursday that the case against Franklin will be sent to a grand jury to decide whether he should be indicted. "We feel that the evidence still substantiates the claim against him," Jordan said, later adding, "It was a police officer. We call on them to protect a child, not cause harm to them."

Franklin graduated from the police academy in the early 1980s and was an officer with Fort Worth police when he was accused of the attack. He was friends with the girl's father and was convicted almost entirely on the accuser's testimony. They never said anything about DNA. Then you going to send this case back to a grand jury after the accuser admitted she lied.

I don't care if he was a police. Equal justice is for everyone. If there's no DNA, how in the world do you even know for sure they had sex? The accuser already said she lied. This man has done 21 years off of a lie, and the state of Texas is still trying to torment him for what? The person that needs to do some time is the accuser who lied and put an innocent man behind bars. Nobody knows what type of mental struggles this man probably has had in prison. All because somebody lied.

Mr. Brian Franklin has a good attorney. But I feel civil rights, human rights, and ACLU should get involved with this man's case. Because it's time to stop people from sending innocent people to prison. Anyone who is willing to commit perjury needs to spend 10 to 20 years behind bars. Every day, some people are found innocent of a crime they didn't commit in some part of the world. A lot of them done decades in prison. By the time they are found innocent, by that time, they are broken down physically and mentally because of all the things that happened to them in prison.

Somebody help Mr. Brian Franklin.
