You are entitled to your opinion. But, you aren't entitled to your own facts.
But, when someone disagrees with you, you aren't entitled to demand proof for their opinion, when you can't provide any proof for yours.
That she recanted is not proof that she is a liar, for her motivation may be trying to keep name from being known.
The definition of "recant" is to "to withdraw or repudiate (a statement or belief) formally and publicly", or "make an open confession of error".
So, by definition: she either told a falsehood earlier, or she is doing so now. I'm sure you would like to believe she is telling a falsehood now, but she has chosen to let this statement stand.
By recanting, her name escapes being printed by the news outlets.
It's too late for that. Someone has already posted an article that not only identifies the woman, it shows her face in a video.
Now if you have intimate knowledge about this case, then provide it, otherwise, you are just demanding I accept your opinion and I'm afraid that is not going to happen.
I don't care whether you accept my opinion or not. But, demanding contrary proof for an unsupported assertion is a what is known as a Negative Proof Fallacy. It's the kind of thing to which bullies resort on the playground. I presume that you are an adult -- maybe you should start acting like one.
So provide me with her name. I haven't been able to find it. I did find the name of the 1st girlfriend Samantha Scheibe, but not this latest girlfriend's name.

So you think I have a chip on my shoulder. That's laughable. What would be the cause for this chip on my shoulder?

Excuse me, but he had asked me for my proof first. At least I provided statements made by a 3rd party, thus I wasn't providing my own facts as you erroneously state. Then I asked him for his proof. So yes I can, and I did.
Recant - to withdraw or repudiate (a statement or belief) formally and publicly. Thus the recant in this case means she withdrew, it does not mean she repudiated it. If you are going to explain the definition of a word you need to make sure you understand it first. Did she say she lied? Did the prosecutor say she lied? If that were the case then why isn't the prosecutor charging her? Since he didn't I have to conclude that she withdrew her statement only.

Perhaps you need to gather your facts first, since you obviously missed his request that I prove my opinion first, and then I asked him to prove his opinion after providing the facts I was using to come to my opinion. Let my put it to rest so you no longer have to presume, I am an adult who never bullied anyone. Nor did I engage in Negative Proof Fallacy. I merely tossed it back into his court. Of course I don't see you accusing him of using Negative Proof Fallacy.
