as far as her crying children, they can learn that actions have consequences from this.




Woman who falsely cried rape sentenced to 5 years in prison

FORT WORTH – A woman whose false claim of rape led to her lover's death was sentenced to five years in prison Monday evening.

Mrs. Roberson, 37, was convicted Friday of manslaughter in the 2006 shooting death of Devin LaSalle. Prosecutors said it was Mrs. Roberson's husband, Darrell, who fired the fatal shot but only because his wife falsely claimed she was being raped.

Mr. LaSalle died in December 2006 after Mr. Roberson shot him outside the Robersons' south Arlington home. Mr. Roberson fired after he returned home from a card game and caught Mr. LaSalle and his wife – who was clad in only a bathrobe and underwear at the time – together in Mr. LaSalle's truck.

Mrs. Roberson claimed she was being raped. Mr. Roberson was charged with murder, but a Tarrant County grand jury declined to indict him. Instead, it indicted Mrs. Roberson on a manslaughter charge.

3. Eastwood's movie is just "Unforgiven". But I'm not sure I see the connection.

5. Good.
Falsely claiming rape is doing a disservice to every *real* rape victim out there. Disgraceful.

6. More senseless gun violence
No easily accessible gun -no manslaughter.

QED.
