This is a "damn" shame. A kid was falsely accused of rape destroying his life and chance of playing football. Good news!
Banks, 27, signed with the Falcons on Wednesday, giving him an opportunity he said he did not believe would be possible when he spent five years in prison and five years on probation following his conviction of rape and kidnapping charges a decade ago. The 6-foot-2, 250-pound Banks will be given an opportunity to win a spot on the team at inside linebacker. He met with Falcons coach Mike Smith at the team's facility Wednesday.
See how lies can destroy people. They need to put that girl and make her live the hell he lived in jail. Congratulations to Brian Banks, go after you're dream!
