- WOMAN WHO FALSELY ACCUSED FALCONS LB BRIAN BANKS OF RAPE ORDERED TO PAY $2.6M - Brian Banks spent five years in prison after a woman falsely accused him of rape in 2002, and now accuser Wanetta Gibson has been ordered to pay $2.6 million in damages to the Long Beach Unified School District, the Long Beach Press-Telegram reports.

Banks, who was a star football prospect at Long Beach Poly High, was convicted, lost his scholarship offer from USC and was sent to jail. Since the rape was alleged to have occurred on the campus of the high school, Gibson sued the school district, citing an unsafe environment, and was awarded a $1.5 million settlement in 2007.

In February 2011, Gibson sent a friend request to Banks via Facebook. Bank declined the request but did ask Gibson to meet with him, according to the Los Angeles Times. During their meeting, Gibson admitted to lying about the alleged rape. The conversation that was recorded by a private investigator which led to Banks’ exoneration in May 2012.

On the tape, Gibson said that she was reluctant to tell prosecutor’s the truth because she didn’t want to lose the $1.5 million that she had been awarded in the civil suit against the school district.

Gibson, who only received $750,000 of the $1.5 million settlement, will now have to pay the school district $2.6 million. The total includes paying back the $750,000 she received, plus attorney’s fees, interest and $1 million in punitive damages.

Karma is a beautiful thing.

Banks, on the other hand, continues to be one of the most inspirational stories in the NFL. The 27-year-old signed a contract with the Falcons in April and will be headed to training camp with the team in July. (Photo: atlantafalcons.com)

Not mentioned in this story is that Banks did not ask for one red cent from her. We talk all the time about celebrity train wrecks and people who have risen to fame via evil or morally questionable ways…I enjoying showing love to people who have taken the high road. He pleaded his innocence while in jail and when he came out and nothing more. He continued working toward achieving his dream and now he is in the NFL and im happy he is a dirty bird.

alaiole:

In 1932, Pedro Albizu Campos published a manuscript accusing Dr. Cornelius P. Rhoads of killing Puerto Rican patients in San Juan’s Presbyterian Hospital, as part of his medical experiments for the Rockefeller Institute. Albizu quoted as his source a letter, received from a third party, in which Dr. Rhoads admitted to injecting Puerto Rican patients with live cancer cells:

“The Porto Ricans (sic) are the dirtiest, laziest, most degenerate and thievish race of men ever to inhabit this sphere…I have done my best to further the process of extermination by killing off eight and transplanting cancer into several more…All physicians take delight in the abuse and torture of the unfortunate subjects.”

The letter contained profoundly racist statements. It dehumanized Puerto Ricans completely, boasted of
“killing off eight” of them, and “transplanting cancer into several more.”

An investigation into this letter was conducted, which found “no evidence of malicious activity” by Dr. Rhoads, and discredited Albizu Campos for “misinterpreting” the letter. Apparently the investigators found some ambiguity in the words “extermination, killing off eight,” and “transplanting cancer into several more.”

With his reputation intact, Dr. Rhoads went on to head two large chemical warfare projects in the 1940s, assisted the United States Atomic Energy Commission, and was awarded the U.S. Legion of Merit. He was lionized in the U.S. press as a trail-blazing “cancer fighter,” and even placed on the cover of Time Magazine.

Years later, in 2003, an independent investigation into Dr. Rhoads’s “cancer research” in Puerto Rico was led by the eminent bioethicist Dr. Jay Katz of Yale University. Their findings confirmed Albizu Campos’ original concerns, that Puerto Rican patients were being used as “cancer guinea pigs.” The American Association for Cancer Research then removed Dr. Rhoads’ name from their annual award intended for an “individual on the basis of meritorious achievement in cancer research.”

Scorpion being in Injustice is nothing serious to cry over.

How many iconic fighting game companies made licensed fighting games, where they put their own fan-favorite character in?

I mean, I’m more of a Sub-Zero guy, but the “comic-like” redesign is sick!

[I hope the “extra four set of DLC characters” rumor is true, so we can get some Chinese Ninja Warrior in Injustice for more tears & salt]

its like akuma in cyberbots

When do we get young justice tho?
