I hope this *unt shares a cell with Bertha the Fist
http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/b...#ixzz0gSdPR2sB A young mother who falsely cried rape, sending an innocent man to prison for nearly four years, will experience firsthand what he suffered -- she'll spend one to three years behind bars for perjury. "I wish her the best of luck," said William McCaffrey last night of Biurny Peguero Gonzalez. "Jail isn't easy." McCaffrey, 33, of The Bronx, was locked up after Gonzalez accused him of raping her at knifepoint on a Bronx street back in 2005. It was a lie she repeated to doctors, cops, prosecutors, a grand jury and the jury that convicted McCaffrey. "What happened in this case is one of the worst things that can possibly happen in our criminal-justice system," Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Charles Solomon said as he pronounced sentence. McCaffrey said he has some sympathy for Gonzalez and hopes she "doesn't go through what I went though. "I was an accused rapist in prison," he said, adding that in prison, "rape is the worst crime possible." All is clearly not forgiven. A person who would "lie and paint somebody as a rapist is worse than a real rapist or a real murderer," McCaffrey said He also blamed "the arresting officers, the prosecution." Everyone, he said, "wanted to believe the lie, the ADA [assistant district attorney] first and foremost." Judge Solomon said, "It's hard to imagine why anyone could have done this." It turned out Gonzalez robbed McCaffrey of four years of his life for the most trivial of reasons. She'd been hanging out with a group of girlfriends when she accepted an invitation to get into his car. After she returned, her pals were furious that she'd ditched them -- so she made up the rape story to gain their sympathy. She will be eligible for parole in a year -- after serving a one-quarter of the time her victim was imprisoned. |
