Personally, I believe that people who can be proven to have willfully made false accusations of crime, police who have willfully arrested and accused people they know to be innocent or to whom they apply 'evidence' that they manufactured, and prosecutors who prosecute people they know to be innocent should be subjected to the maximum sentence available for the crimes they falsely subjected someone else to prosecution for committing. It would stop this type of nonsense in a big hurry.
That it would.
I absolutely feel for the guy who spent 15 prime years in prison. Not only that, for a charge that makes you "the b*tch" to everyone in prison.
