Brian Banks

Brian Banks is a former American football player who gained national attention after being wrongfully convicted of a crime he did not commit. In 2002, at age 16, he was accused of rape, which he maintained was false. He served five years in prison and had his life and promising football career disrupted. In 2012, the accuser recanted her story, leading to Banks' exoneration. After his release, he pursued his dream of playing in the NFL, eventually signing with the Atlanta Falcons in 2013, symbolizing resilience and the fight for justice in the face of wrongful convictions.
