Author Alice Sebold apologized Tuesday to the man who was exonerated of the 1981 rape featured in her memoir,"Lucky," saying she struggled with the role she"unwittingly played within a system that sent an innocent man to jail."
"My goal in 1982 was justice — not to perpetuate injustice," she said."And certainly not to forever, and irreparably, alter a young man's life by the very crime that had altered mine."in all its formats would cease"while Sebold and Scribner together consider how the work might be revised." Sebold wrote in “Lucky” that she was raped and that several months later, she saw a Black man walking down the street who she believed was the person who attacked her. Sebold, who is white, reported her experience to police. An officer suggested that the man was Broadwater, who had supposedly been seen in the area.
Sebold said she is also grappling with the fact that her rapist will"never be known" and may have assaulted other women.
Twitter would ban me for the thoughts i want to put in words. But she got nerves to act like this man’s life was just spilled milk!
She is not struggling. That's just useless talk. She knew he was innocent.
It just shows that a Black male in America is walking a minefield and is lucky if he reaches old age without stepping on one.
Whatever gets her Brand on the news. $$$
If I was that man I would be filing lawsuits left and right.
Easy. Now it's her turn to be locked up. Same amount of time as him. It would only show she is truly sorry.
She blames the “system”. She played a big role in the mess
That's all that these gold brickìng woman do. Is to try and cash in.
I hope all profit made off the book is given to the man for any apologies to make sense
A self-serving apology in a memoir? Hardly enough. You knowingly perpetuated a flawed system. Not “unwittingly”. Now you should struggle with a 16-year confinement.
And let me guess she gets zero jail time? This woman profited off this mans misery and nothing happens? Damn being a white woman with all that privelage must be so nice.
Innocent PEOPLE WILL ALWAYS GO TO JAIL THEIR LIFE DESTORYED COZ COMMONSENSE LOGICAL REASONING IS NOT ALLOWED LIKE MICRO FACIAL PROFILING SAD
A self-serving apology, hardly enough. Your confinement is now due.
So she randomly saw him on the street, had him arrested, couldn't identify him in a lineup after the arrest and he was still convicted on bad science. Hate to think of many Black ppl are sitting in jail that are innocent. Forget an apology..charge her and pay him restitution
He should double sue her and the “System “ Government which had him locked up since 1981 of a rape he didn’t commit…They took away his FREEDOM to thrive as a human being .
women that do that to men should face jail time
mentoo
'unwittingly'
Geez she sent a man to jail for decades wrongly and that's her apology?
Just want to say a very big thank you to Mrs lisamiaBTC and her company platform for their transparency, I had doubts at first but seeing I got paid I deemed it necessary to share with the general public and to let them know that you can be truly trusted..thank you so much.
