Why, they didn't make the accusation. The fucking cop haters here are getting old.

And yes, I'd sue the shit out of any false accuser.

In the Duke case I would say "sue her for what ?", some of the extra DNA found in her panties maybe ?. If it finally came out that I was innocent I would drop it very quick and hope my name was never in the paper again.

It would depend.

Honest mistake or malicious?

You are damn right I would. Sue the shit out of her. Go after her homeowner's or renter's policies and when I max those out I would have her wages garnished. I might sue her girlfriends and boyfriend(s) as well. Cast a wide net fellows!

Grand Jury.

Based on the new evidence, has a new grand jury be formed to look into the evidence that the accuser totally lied? Criminal charges would have to be considered first before any civil preceeding could occur.

I'd damn sure do SOMETHING!

No.

Yet generally speaking a DA, never goes after a fals accuser. So generally speaking prosecuteing the person in criminal will never happen. Not popular with womens groups.

So a falsely accused person usually only has the civil option.

Depends.....were criminal charges brought against the false accuser by authorities for filing false charges of rape? If so, then a civil suit would have good chances of winning, if not, then maybe yes still. Did the false accuser know the accusations were false and intentionally charge the innocent? or was the false accuser confused, or not sure? Lot of questions you need to ask before suing someone or you might be a false accuser too. Not "you" the poster, but you know what I mean.

I don't think that's the kind of thing that money can make recompense for.

Story I've told before:

When I was in Okinawa, a female Marine was in the sack with two male Marines in her barracks room when her roommate walked in. Caught in the embarrassing position, she hollered rape. The two guys --both in my company-- were put into the Camp Hansen brig on max custody for pretrial confinement. They spent six weeks there until the roommate admitted that the accuser wasn't being raped when she walked into the room.

The two guys were released from the brig and plans started hatching to kill their accuser and dump her into the ocean. She wasn't ever charged with anything, but was immediately flown off the island.

Straight into the fuckin' poorhouse. I'm not a litigation-minded person, but once somebody pulls that shit the gloves come off.
