My point is that she is lying.
To those who think innocent men are never accused
When investigators arrived, the victim told them that her assailant weighed 145 pounds and was 5’6” tall
Barbour was arrested. He weighed only 115 pounds at the time of his arrest. Furthermore, Barbour suffered from a brittle-bone disease and had a pin in his elbow at the time, making rape seem unlikely.
Hair taken from the scene did not match Barbour’s, and tests performed on the semen revealed only the presence of Type A blood. The victim had Type A blood, while Barbour had Type B.
At the trial, the principle evidence against Barbour was the eyewitness testimony of the victim, though he did not match the victim’s initial description, and no physical evidence tied him to the crime. His alibi, that he was watching television with his family and neighbors that night, was corroborated by three witnesses at trial.

Avery presented 16 alibi witnesses, including the clerk of a store in Green Bay, Wisconsin, who recalled Avery, accompanied by his wife and five children, buying paint from the store. A checkout tape put the purchase at 5:13 p.m

The description of the perpetrator was a 6 feet, 5 inches tall white man with curly blond hair, a bushy mustache, skinny, and tan. Bloodsworth was six feet, had red hair, and was well over 200 pounds.

He served 25 years for a rape and burglary he didn't commit, largely based on erroneous testimony of an FBI-trained state hair analyst who claimed that his hair linked him to two hairs found at the scene

He was convicted in large part due to two eyewitness misidentifications, a contributing factor in 75 percent of wrongful convictions.

Though Abdal did not fit the description (he was six feet two and did not have a gap in his teeth), he was picked up over four months after the assault. The victim had been informed by police that Abdal was the suspect but she failed initially to identify him as her assailant. The victim then viewed a photo of Abdal that was four years old and eventually identified him as the perpetrator during a “show-up” procedure.
