As the director of the California Innocence Project, lawyer Justin Brooks had seen more than his fair share of unjust cases, but something about Banks’ situation stood out, he recently explained.
Brian Banks spent nearly six years behind bars after being falsely accused of rape, but never sued his accuser, who admitted to him, on video, to fabricating the story.
Wanetta Gibson was 15 years old when she accused Brian Banks, a high school football star, of raping her in a stairwell. She later admitted, on camera, to lying.
