Hey, sorry about that!

Women recant sex abuse allegations
Man sentenced to life in 1984
Raleigh- N.C.

So, apparently two women have come forward to recant accusations of sexual abuse levelled at an innocent man who just spent 20 years in jail! 20 YEARS, for a crime he didn't commit! I admit it, my mind is once again blown by the audacity of some people.

"The accusers, cousins who were 4 and 6 when they made the charges, were expected to testify Friday that they falsely accused Sylvester Smith, 53. He was given two consecutive life sentences in 1984."

Dearly departed Grandma pressured the girls to finger the poor guy in the molestations to cover up for a nine year old cousin who later ended up in jail for murder anyway.

Their Lawyer....."[Gore] said he first heard from one of the victims this summer, when she wrote that Smith was being punished too harshly".

Hmm, you don't say? Too harshly??

"If the charges against Smith are dropped, he can petition the governor for a pardon. If one is granted, Smith could be entitled to as much as $400,000 in compensation from the state."

So that's the state of North Carolina's fix to 20 lost years of a life?

Let's do some math:

$400,000 divided by 20 years = a whopping $20,000 a year

All that, and he even has to petition for a pardon!

Unbelievable.
