‘The Lovely Bones’ Author Apologizes to Wrongly Convicted Man

Novelist Alice Sebold has issued a public apology to Anthony J. Broadwater, the man wrongfully convicted of raping her. In a statement published on Medium, Sebold, most famous for her book “The Lovely Bones,” apologized and addressed her role in making Broadwater “another young Black man brutalized by our flawed legal system” Her apology comes eight days after Broadwater’s conviction was vacated on the basis that the legal case, which Sebold details in her memoir, was deeply flawed.

    no one has perfect memory especially after such a terrible event. you really can’t blame the victims, it’s a horrible thing that he lost sixteen years of his life. He should be heavily reimbursed, and I understand why you would want to pin the blame on her, but this whole thing would have been avoided if the justice system, not the victims had taken more time to correctly identify him. he did nothing wrong he’s a victim of the unfair practices of our justice system. And she’s still a victim of rape. Hair DNA has been found to be one of the LEAST correct forms of identification. She may have thought it was her rapist but the system made the mistake not the victim, the man is a victim as well possibly more of a victim than her, in some cases but that doesn’t mean you should blame the person who was raped. It’s the systems fault for using an outdated way of identifying someone. Sorry for the essay

    I don't think she realized she had the wrong person. It sounds like she was young and hypervigilant after the assault, was in the area and her brain made a connection to someone who looked similar. Our minds don't always have great memory of traumatic events. It was up to the prosecution process to make sure that her story added up to connect to this man in particular... they clearly did not, if a man reading her book could figure out that it didn't match.

    Here’s the thing. She truly thought he did it. Apparently he looked a lot like the guy who did rape and beat her. She went to the police and I presume the hospital and did her best to identify the rapist. After that happens, it is up to the police to and district attorney to investigate the facts of the case, decide whether there is enough evidence to determine if he is guilty and can be proven guilty, and to make their best case if that is what the evidence shows. And it is up to the defense attorney to make sure he gets the best defense available to advocate for him, minimize the chance that an innocent person will be sent to prison, and if he is convicted to make sure sentencing is fair. She wasn’t being malicious. Plenty of witnesses accidentally misidentify the person who committed a crime. If someone is convicted solely because of an identification-if the victim and perpetrator don’t already know each other, of course-then someone didn’t do their job. Another thing to remember is that they didn’t have DNA testing back then. The best they could do with blood and semen was determine someone’s blood type. I feel bad for them both-him for losing such a big part of his life and having to deal with a decimated reputation, and her for how horrible it must feel to know your mistake cost someone so much for so long and realizing that the person who actually did it is still out there and she will never know who actually did it or get any justice.

This is probably just her being forced to make some kind of apology due to public opinion and not out of any real feeling of guilt or responsibility. Just my opinion.

    She lied and got the wrong man in prison and all she is saying is an apology? What a coward, and allowing the real rapist out there.

    No, actually he's not owed anything. He should be compensated though and she should serve the same sentence he did to make things fair. All people care about these days is the next money grab. Sad.

    @@satlva2908 how she getting arrested will make thing fair? He won't those 16 years back, it wasn't a false claim, it was a misidentification. He needs compensation and not from her, it wasn't only her misidentification that put this man in jail, the whole justice system failed him, the state should make sure that this man lives comfortably for the rest of his life.

    The Author should serve a minimum of 10 years in prison. The US justice system is a pathetic joke.

    While I hope the same for him, sadly that won't be the case. He'll have a lot of mental obstacles to overcome along with obstacles in life before things will get better for him.
