    "Sebold identified a different man as her rapist in a police lineup in 1981, but she was steered to Broadwater by the police department and prosecutors. They also used a form of hair a***ysis to convict Broadwater that would not have been relied on in today's courts."

    We really gonna be putting all the blame on a woman who did get raped after all and none on these scum bag police ?

    yeah this seems like the responsibility of the state

    Why would she lie about being rape? That’s so f***ed up

    she didn’t, the wrong person was just accused and she didn’t say anything about it possibly being the wrong person/the police urged for him to be arrested

    Pull her out of her home and onto the street. She took 16 years of this man’s life while made bank off of it. Literal scum of the world

    Ya I'm not trying to say she doesn't have any responsibility

    Just the fact there was a rape and that the police seem to be the main factor in this wrongful conviction made me feel a lil mislead

    If there's more details like she talks specifically that it was this guy in her book then yea he deserves millions from her

    Oh the police are definitely the main offenders in terms of Broadwater being singled out, but my main argument here was that Sebold pointed out some other black dude in the lineup (who STILL wasn't the rapist), then let the whole trial go ahead against a man that she had never seen before and didn't even think twice about during said lineup.

    Like, of course what happened to her is horrifying, I don't want to try and minimize the trauma that she surely experienced, but the anger that developed from that just led to her letting an innocent man she'd never seen in her life have his life ruined because she selfishly wanted some form of closure any way possible.

    After all that, her rapist walked free for the next 16 years, and totally got away with it.

    The fact that she then secured a massive bag from all of this just makes her even more gross, imo.

    Broadwater absolutely should be going after the state as well, it was the police that dragged him into all of this to begin with, but at the end of the day if Sebold (or her lawyer) put her foot down and said that's not the guy, Broadwater probably would have got to live his life.

    Take her book off shelves and have her pay him 90% of her wealth.

    Only real authors deserve respect, aka JK Rowling.
