Hey, Brooklyn DA Charles Hynes? You Need to Go. Here Are 8 Reasons Why.
4) Woman Recants Rape Testimony But the Men She Falsely Accused Are Tried and Convicted Anyway
In 2011, four men were arrested and charged with having forced a 13-year-old girl into prostitution in 2003. The only problem was that the woman, now 20-years-old, recanted her entire testimony only one day after making the claims. Instead of dropping the case, the DA’s office hid the police paperwork in which the woman took back her charges. The men who were arrested spent months in jail as the trial proceeded. The Daily News reported that it was only after a new prosecutor took over and the truth was brought to light that charges against the men were dropped and they were allowed to return to their homes and lives.
