A few years ago, somewhere in Illinois, a woman who had accused a man of
raping her recanted her testmony. The man had been convicted on the
strength of her testimony and imprisoned for several years. Now she
claimed the rape never happened. Apparently she had become a Christian in
the meantime and was plagued by guilt over the false accusation she had
made. She now claimed that no one had raped her and she had accused the
man of rape in a childish desire to get even with him for some real or
imagined slight. Eventually the man _was_ released, but initially the
legal authorities dismissed all attempts to reopen the case. Seems as
though it happens in the legal community also, and in this case it kept an
innocent man imprisoned for quite a few weeks after the testimony was
recanted.
