1 Falsely Accused of Rape, Former High School Football Star Finally Cleared

24 mei 2012

LONG BEACH, Calif. (KABC) — After a decade, it was the judgment that Brian Banks and his lawyers from the California Innocence Project fought for: Case dismissed.

“My only dream in the world was to just be free and to have the same opportunity as everybody here,” said Banks following Thursday’s hearing.

At age 16, Brian Banks had been a popular student at Polytechnic High in Long Beach, an athlete being scouted by eight colleges.

He verbally accepted an offer to attend the University of Southern California on a four-year scholarship when a serious accusation came from a fellow classmate and childhood friend.

Wanetta Gibson, then 15 years old, claimed Banks had raped her at school. With a case of he said she said, Banks did as his lawyers urged — to plead no contest and accept a short prison term rather than risk a long one.

Gibson collected $1.5 million after suing the school. Banks spent five years in prison and five years on parole, finally reaching out to California Project Innocence. But the case turned when the alleged victim contacted him through Facebook asking to be his friend.

6 Brian Banks: A Family Re-United

6 apr. 2013

Brian Banks continues to tell his story. It’s aired on national news, on Jay Leno, even 60-Minutes. But none have what I witnessed when welcomed into his mother’s home.
 
It’s been less than a year since Banks was cleared of a crime that sent him to prison for five years and on parole for another five. Thanks to the California Innocence Project he walked out of a courtroom a truly free man, exonerated of a crime he says never happened. His mom says she’s still “grinning from ear to ear.”
 
While it was among the first times his mom, Leomia Myers, was talking in depth about it, it was his baby brother who stunned and silenced mom’s living room. Brandon broke down, sobbing over what was lost and what could have been. His mom told me these brothers had never had this conversation. The two embraced long and hard with Brandon saying “I love you, man.”
