At 16, Brian Banks was one of the best high school linebackers in America. USC had offered him a full scholarship. Pete Carroll personally called him.
One afternoon at school he made out with a classmate. Consensual. By the end of the day he was in jail, charged with kidnapping and rape.
She said he dragged her into a stairwell. It never happened.
The DNA came back negative. His mother sold her house and her car to pay for a lawyer.
He couldn’t make bail. He spent a year behind bars waiting for trial.
His lawyer told him: plead no contest, or risk 41 years in prison. He was 17. He took the deal.
He did 5 years in prison. Then 5 more on parole. Registered sex offender. GPS monitor on his ankle. Couldn’t go near schools or parks. No one would hire him.
Meanwhile, the girl and her mother sued the school district for not keeping her safe. They won $1.5 million.
In 2011, a Facebook friend request popped up on his screen.
It was her.
She wanted to “let bygones be bygones.”
Brian went to a private investigator. They hid cameras in the office and invited her to talk. She came by bus.
On tape, she admitted it. He never raped her. He never kidnapped her.
Then she said she still wouldn’t tell prosecutors the truth. Because she’d have to give back the money.
In May 2012, a judge cleared his name. The hearing took less than a minute.
10 years of his life. Gone in one lie. Erased in 60 seconds.
A few days later his phone rang. “I’m looking for a linebacker. You know where I can find one?”
It was Pete Carroll. The same coach who recruited him 10 years earlier.
He finally signed with the NFL’s Atlanta Falcons. At 27. The dream he had at 16.
She was ordered to pay $2.6 million back.
What should happen to someone who steals 10 years of your life with one lie?
@__Sicnarf__@SabuMelee@maxout1233 Jiraya spent a lot of that time evening out Naruto skillset, before the timeskip he had high highs but low lows. Granted I do wish he taught him a technique or two.
@sayyed_arisha@TheOriginalDVKA@HanimeHQ I think the cloak helps because Sakura vs Hinata probably ends up as a “first touch wins” kinda fight. I think ultimately it comes down to Sasuke vs Naruto regardless of what happens between Hinata and Sakura.
Super Smash Bros creator Masahiro Sakurai says he’s still developing games at “full throttle”
He admits the intense pace isn’t sustainable forever, but says he’ll only stop when his “spirit breaks”
Former NFL HC Rex Ryan was arrested Wednesday morning in Nashville after allegedly running over the feet of two pedestrians with his pickup truck last week.
Police say Ryan continued driving before the pedestrians caught up to him at a red light. He allegedly got out, argued with them, and drove away without exchanging information.
Ryan faces six misdemeanor charges, including leaving the scene of an accident, failing to provide information or aid, and failing to obey traffic signals.
Back in March of 2024, @nickkorte noticed that the Bengals appeared to be shorted a 3rd round compensatory pick following the departure of Jessie Bates in free agency. Days later, the NFL announced it had made an error and Cincinnati wound up with a 3rd round compensatory pick.
Today: Nick’s tweet was the first to acknowledge that a trade for Arnold Ebiketie would cancel out the Bengals’ upcoming 3rd round compensatory pick for Trey Hendrickson.
