Nobody took that into consideration for Banks. He was just 16 and he was an innocent man. "You know a man is guilty, so why aren't we unleashing half of the punishment that was unleashed on Brian Banks when he was innocent and there was no evidence?" he said. "They gave me six years. They gave him six months."
Banks feels the female victim in the Turner case "has been totally ignored. She has to live with her hardship and tragedy for the rest of her life."
He has to live with 10 years being taken away from him, losing a college scholarship and a potential NFL career. In addition to working for the NFL, Banks has gone from client to board member of the California Innocence Project, which helped clear his name, and he gives inspirational speeches as a life-coach.
"I wasn't physically raped, but I was raped in a sense of my freedom," he said. "I was kidnapped, taken against my will, placed in a box for five years and two months. I was denied all human rights. When I screamed and pleaded and begged, it fell on deaf ears. It's a different form of being assaulted and taken advantage of. I know what she is going through."
