"An accuser can give five different stories, but if all of them indicate she was raped, it's got to go to a jury," said Vann."

If it goes to a trial and it is shown the accuser is lying,
then that's perjury, and she gets prison time.

Do those who are clamoring for a trial realize this?

The maximum penalty for making a false claim to police is $1000 fine and 200 hours community service. Prison is an altogether different story.

Does the accuser really want to face prison time for lying?

She only gets prison time if the DA prosecutes her and Nifong isn't going to do that.
