Wrongly convicted rapist signs with Falcons

[Guiness]

Interesting story.

Brian Banks was 16 and had committed to USC when he was accused and convicted of rape - 11 years ago.

His accuser recanted the story last May, and he's been exonerated. He just signed with the Falcons.

the seahawks brought him in last year right after he got out of the can

dude was suppose to be a hell of a talent, thus all the interest in a guy who hasn't played in a long time

[Joemailman]

The guy was a linebacker. Wouldn't you just love to see him take out Roethlisberger?

[smuggler]

Yes, Joe, and that's a very great thought. Haha.

Boy that Thread Title is in need of punctuation. Right now I think the rapist has been wrongly convicted of something else. A smaller tragedy indeed.

Nah, I knew what you meant. But had nothing else to add.

That would be poetic justice.

I hope he earns a spot on a team. How terrible to be robbed of your future like that!

Perhaps it was a statement regarding the correctness of convicting rapists?
