Terrible Injustice (Please Read)

Here's the deal: in 2007, Eric Frimpong, a poor immigrant from Ghana, was selected to play for the Kansas City Wizards in the MLS after he lead UC Santa Barbara to their first ever national championship the previous year. However, 3 weeks after the draft, he was accused of raping another student on the beach near his house. Now he's a convicted felon. Here are the facts of the case: his accuser was a woman with little memory of what happened that night because of a near-toxic blood alcohol level, Frimpong's DNA wasn't found on the victim, and the semen found on his accuser's underwear belonged to a jealous boyfriend; a white student who was never a suspect. He was convicted by a jury of his peers, 12 white people, and a white judge who "had never seen a rape case with so much incriminating, credible and powerful evidence." Frimpong, unlike the Duke lacrosse players, does not have the resources to navigate the justice system and he is currently serving a six year sentence.
