I saw this on Today last week... Eventually the state of Cali will go after her... She recanted on video, not just on tape...Matt Lauer made a plea to the NFL or any company with a heart to give the guy a shot... 
Maybe he isn't suing her because she confessed... A public pretender is an employee of the state, and the state could've truly investigated instead of paying her off & sweeping it under the rug... 

No I'm not saying that her ass don't deserve to be sued, but in his head. She is also the reason he is free.

*** Im sorry y'all but if she ain't a raggedy b**ch I don't know who is.. All the money is gone 

Wanetta Gibson, the woman who falsely accused a man of rape 10 years ago, is going to be allowed to keep her $750,000 settlement she received from Long Beach Poly High School, even though the rape never occurred.
The man she accused Brian Banks, spent 5 years in prison for the alleged crime, after pleading no contest to forcible rape.  A judge tossed out the rape charge, but there is no word on whether Gibson will be punished for what she did.
Banks says that he has not considered legal action against Gibson.  Prosecutors have also said nothing about charging her for making false statements to police.  They claim that the charges will be difficult to prove.
Legal experts tell the LA Times that getting the settlement back from Gibson would be difficult to do.  Court records show that she doesn’t have much.  She was on welfare for a while and her two children still receive public assistance.  Gibson was ordered to pay $600 per month for child support, but was told she didn’t have to pay it due to a lack of income and no job.
The statute of limitations for making false statements is four years.   However, it can restart when the crime is discovered.
“No, he did not rape me,” are the words Gibson used when speaking to Banks and his private investigator.
“The prosecution can say that we only learned last year that the crime of perjury occurred and therefore we are still within the statute of limitations,” Loyola Law professor Stan Goldman told the LA Times.
There is no word on whether Gibson is going to be charged, but prosecutors are “reviewing the matter,” according to spokeswoman Lisa Massacani.

This story just pissed me off. I don't usually go the violent route, but this b*tch would end up meeting some of my un-named kin folks who would beat the breaks off of her ass. This young man's' life was just played with and there is no way this woman shouldn't be procecuted. I hope he gets an opportunity to live out his football dreams and go to college. The state of California should be willing to give him a full ride or something, but he needs to get the right lawyers cuz this was sum straight donkey sh*t right here.

Not surprising at all... Those devious niggers probably blew through that cash in no time.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7987374/nfl-teams-want-exonerated...

Several NFL teams are willing to give Brian Banks a chance to fulfill his dream of playing pro football.

Banks, who last week was exonerated of a rape conviction that put him in prison for five years, told ESPN columnist Rick Reilly that he'll work out with the Seattle Seahawks on June 7. The Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins also have called to talk to him about a tryout.

Brian Banks, former standout linebacker at Long Beach Poly joins the Kamenetzky Brothers, telling his nightmarish story of a false rape accusation sending him to prison in 2002, ending a promising football career. Now his accuser has recanted her story, leaving Banks to re-start his life and aim for a shot at the NFL.

"I'll make 'em happy," Banks, who's been training non-stop since October, told Reilly on Tuesday. "After all I've been through these last 10 years, I can still do some things that will impress you."

Before the charges, Banks was a star middle linebacker at Long Beach Polytechnic High School and was attracting interest from college football powerhouses such as USC, Ohio State and Michigan. He said he had agreed to a full scholarship with the Trojans.

His college football dreams ended, however, when he pleaded no contest to a childhood friend's false accusation of rape in 2002, a claim she now has recanted.

Upon his release from prison and before his exoneration last week, Banks had trouble finding work because he had to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet, was a registered sex offender and had a felony record.

His agent, Justin Brooks, has said Banks has been training six days a week to get in shape for a career in football.

"He has the speed and the strength. He certainly has the heart," Brooks said. "I hope he gets the attention of people in the sports world."

Banks also has received job offers outside the NFL. One of them is to "work in the front office and explore other sports opportunities" for the Arizona Diamondbacks, Banks told Reilly. "I about fell out of my seat when I read that one," Banks said.
*** Congratulations!!!!!!!!
