      It's great because this guy don't a year in jail for something he didn't do. And that victim in this case actually petitioned the court to release him because she in fact had v not told the truth of what happened. The judge actually told him to go home and take care of his wife. That same woman, well guess what b she was recorded on camera physically assaulting a police officer and was charged with racially motivated hate crimes.
