I don’t blame her for being wrong, I more blame police and prosecutors but I think her man she falsely accused should get at least half of her profits.

Thanks for this message! I didn't want to imply that I'm blaming her. I just hope that Mr. Broadwater will be compensated for what he went through no matter where the money comes from (government or else).

I just read in The NY Times that in the lineup she chose #4 but the man she accused was #5. They still convicted #5. She admitted they looked alike. How sad for that man. “When the judge announced his exoneration, he let out a gasp, leaned forward and cried.��

Very sad indeed considering the sacrifices he made after this false accusation.

Sebold isn’t to blame. She was a traumatized victim walking down a street triggered by Broadwater for whatever reason. The police should know about this psychological trauma and how to deal with it - victimization. But they didn’t. They never questioned it and pushed the investigation merely to convict ANY black man.

The fact remains that someone did rape her. How can you make her the bad guy

Wait I’m confused if the like semen samples and stuff matched his etc, like all the evidence how was it false? Someone please explain

They didn’t test the semen for some strange reason. Just his pubic hair. I was floored after I went thru all the psychological twists of the book.. then googled the author to see her Oprah interview and I saw the recent news. What a mind f-ck.

The fact that Gail Uebelhoer is not behind bars astounds me.

When this crime occurred there didn’t have the dna technology to test semen or other things for matches. There was some rudimentary semen testing that could rule someone out but not confirm it was them- but she says in the book they couldn’t do it due to her blood contaminating the sample. They used hair analysis which is now known to be completely unreliable.

This is so unfortunate, I just listened to a podcast episode about this case and was extremely shocked and angry. I hope Alice heals from her trauma, but I also sincerely hope Mr Broadwater gets the justice and compensation he deserves. I absolutely can’t believe this.

The truth is after many years later before she released Lucky. Somehow according to her director she knew smthg was not right after going through the case well she went ahead and wrote the story lucky. Anyway she says her world changed after the assult maybe at this point the trauma was too much to care even wen smthg was not right. It's all so unfortunate for both victims. Hope they find peace for real . The wounds truly did sting

Nothing like victim blaming. Get back to me after you’ve been raped and let me know how it goes when you pick your perp from a line up. As if she did this intentionally.

It doesn't take away the trauma she went through after being raped. I think she would much rather not 'have made millions' if that also meant she was never raped.

In her defense, she was a traumatized college student most likely being railroaded by law enforcement to point out the culprit as hastily as possible. However, I didn’t get any sincerity out of the public apology she made.

“Victim blaming�� is not the case here, not at all. Someone’s life, 38 years of it, and probably the rest of it too, got tarnished and destroyed. You can only see one victim here? The man is not a victim? How is what he went through less traumatizing than hers?

I totally agree. What upsets me is that she blamed and continues to blame the “judicial�� system for putting him in jail. What did she expect when she identified him without any doubt? It’s pathetic and her “sorry�� means nothing. Yet she’s made money off of this book and the one after it. She should have had to financially reimburse him.
