It's March 3, 2008, a brilliant day in Santa Barbara. But for Eric Frimpong, it feels like hell. He's in Superior Court, encircled by sheriff's deputies, making one more trip to the Department 2 courtroom. This is his last stop on the outside for a while, a painful reminder of how far he has fallen. He left his native Ghana in 2005 to play soccer for UC Santa Barbara; a year later he became a campus hero while leading the Gauchos to their first-ever national championship. If the immigrant experience can have a sound, Frimpong's sound was a raucous stadium. But in 2007, just weeks after being selected by the Kansas City Wizards in the MLS draft, he was accused of raping another student on the beach near his house. Now he's a convicted felon.
--------------------------------------
If you are thinking "Why does this matter?", well there are three reasons:
1) The girl who accused him had a blood alchol level that probably could kill someone.
2) No DNA was found on the girl that belonged to Frimpong
3) The semen found on the girls underwear belonged to her boyfriend.

He's African, he has no knowledge of the American justice system and cannot afford a lawyer, therefore he is the perfect scapegoat for those who want a conviction at any cost.
