Novelist Alice Sebold has issued a public apology to Anthony J. Broadwater, the man wrongfully convicted of raping her. In a statement published on Medium, Sebold, most famous for her book “The Lovely Bones,” apologized and addressed her role in making Broadwater “another young Black man brutalized by our flawed legal system” Her apology comes eight days after Broadwater’s conviction was vacated on the basis that the legal case, which Sebold details in her memoir, was deeply flawed.

no one has perfect memory especially after such a terrible event. you really can’t blame the victims, it’s a horrible thing that he lost sixteen years of his life. He should be heavily reimbursed, and I understand why you would want to pin the blame on her, but this whole thing would have been avoided if the justice system, not the victims had taken more time to correctly identify him. he did nothing wrong he’s a victim of the unfair practices of our justice system. And she’s still a victim of rape. Hair DNA has been found to be one of the LEAST correct forms of identification. She may have thought it was her rapist but the system made the mistake not the victim, the man is a victim as well possibly more of a victim than her, in some cases but that doesn’t mean you should blame the person who was raped. It’s the systems fault for using an outdated way of identifying someone. Sorry for the essay

It was up to the prosecution process to make sure that her story added up to connect to this man in particular... they clearly did not, if a man reading her book could figure out that it didn't match.

Here’s the thing. She truly thought he did it. Apparently he looked a lot like the guy who did rape and beat her. She went to the police and I presume the hospital and did her best to identify the rapist. After that happens, it is up to the police to and district attorney to investigate the facts of the case, decide whether there is enough evidence to determine if he is guilty and can be proven guilty, and to make their best case if that is what the evidence shows. And it is up to the defense attorney to make sure he gets the best defense available to advocate for him, minimize the chance that an innocent person will be sent to prison, and if he is convicted to make sure sentencing is fair. She wasn’t being malicious. Plenty of witnesses accidentally misidentify the person who committed a crime. If someone is convicted solely because of an identification-if the victim and perpetrator don’t already know each other, of course-then someone didn’t do their job. Another thing to remember is that they didn’t have DNA testing back then. The best they could do with blood and semen was determine someone’s blood type. I feel bad for them both-him for losing such a big part of his life and having to deal with a decimated reputation, and her for how horrible it must feel to know your mistake cost someone so much for so long and realizing that the person who actually did it is still out there and she will never know who actually did it or get any justice.

That wasn’t an apology. She was talking as if she was writing another novel, not like SHE robbed him of all those years. She’s sorry “it happened” like something you read in the news, that you’re far removed from. She ruined his life, and should be held criminally accountable. Screw her third-person apologies!

@@alyssa3105 As far as I’m concerned, it wasn’t about falsely accusing someone because it didn’t happen, but accusing the wrong person. (She did get r*ped, and she was a victim, but she couldn’t correctly identify the right person. It’s a mistake, and I definitely think this guy was a victim, but we also shouldn’t paint her as a bad guy, if anything it’s the legal systems fault.)

You cannot get back 16 years of his life but you sure can give him a goodass percentage of the book that you had wrongly wrote about HIM. And when I mean percentage I mean take out your percentage. Not the publisher's percentage, not the editor's percentage, the writer's percentage. I think people would buy the book if they knew it was to help him. (Did I go too deep in for this?)
