This guy was a star linebacker in high school and on his way to USC. False rape charges sent him to prison. To hear him interviewed is amazing. He still has a positive attitude and is looking forward, not backward.

They should jail his accuser. 5 years MINIMUM.

[Uncle Chip]

Good for them and him. I hope he makes it and does well.

Freed last May after the victim admitted she had falsely accused him, the former USC recruit has been trying patiently but persistently to get a shot at the NFL.

This "victim" should be put in jail herself...

I saw him on the news this morning. I hope he makes the team. Good luck to him.

Has the name of the false accuser even been made public? If so, then who? If not, then why not?

I'm guessing that she copped a plea to come clean in return for immunity and anonymity. Otherwise, Banks would still be sitting in the slam. The cost of five prime earning years lost could easily exceed a Powerball jackpot.

In a few minutes, he will be on the Dan Patrick show on FOX Sports - in Los Angeles that is 570am

Is the girl in jail? She should get 2 days for each day he spent

Folks, he apparently plead, “No Contest” to the rape charge. That’s why he’s been in jail.

An innocent person would have fought a faked charge.

Brian Banks’ accuser didn’t want to repay settlement, video shows

There’s an awesome video here of how the private investigator getting her to confess.

He has a shot with the Falcons which is great. If that doesn’t work out maybe he should consider the CFL for a few years. Money isn’t what it is in the NFL but the quality of football is good, comparable to larger college football programs here in the US.

His story is supposed to be released on film -

I saw this story on 20/20 (i think) She sends him a message on facebook wanting to reconnect after the 5 years in prison. He decides to go along and get her to admit things on tape. Then he gets her to another meeting. I was hoping they would ask what motivated her to do this. It was bizarre and not even asked by the accused. The reporter didn’t even ask him “why do you think she did this to you?” I was waiting for that question and answer but it never came. If this had happened to most people, the first thing they would ask after 5 years is “WHY did you do this to me?”

During the first meeting, when he asked her if she would be willing to recant and clear his name she said “I don’t know, WE, (she corrects herself) I mean I, would have to pay all this money back. It would take a long time.

And bj clinton committed all those rapes and didn’t spend a day in jail and he became president. America is so racist.
