There are myriad documented cases that have been dismissed or nolle prossed due to several reasons like "Witness statements are not credible", "Accused was incarcerated at the time so could not have committed the crime"(would you believe 5 of these in 2002 alone?), "Victim recanted statement", etc.
Another indicator is that the Sheriff's Department arrests around 80 people per week. These arrests are printed in the paper once a week. Also printed is the court calender, listing out who was convicted and who entered a guilty plea that week. This number averages 60 per week. So what happened to the other 20? Granted, some are dismissed because the evidence isn't "strong enough". But you can bet that many are also dismissed because the charge is an absolute falsehood. And of course their is my own case.
A civil suit shouldn't be needed. After all, the girl didn't go pay a lawyer to sue me for stalking, did she? No.
So why should I have to spend money to clear my name, when I can be vindicated in a court of law when she is convicted of filing a false report of a crime?
Nope, its not the men. Its the system, a system that thinks if we prosecute for false claims, people will be reluctant to make real ones.
