False accusers need big punishment...
Here's a case of a women who only gets community service despite her lies that put her partner in prison...
A woman who helped send her former partner to prison for 10 months after lying in court has escaped with 50 hours community service.
Marion Anne Carter, 61, was sentenced in Hamilton last week after earlier pleading guilty to perverting the course of justice.
Her lies under oath helped convict Robert "Bob" Sutton of
two rapes, four assaults with a weapon and nine assaults on a number of people that saw him jailed in November 2005.
Sutton told the Herald on Sunday from his takeaway and dairy in Mourea, near Rotorua, yesterday he "wasn't very impressed" with her punishment.
"I don't wish jail on anybody but her. I was gutted by the fact that I did 10 months in jail for her lies, and she turns around and she gets 50 hours and that's it."

As a family lawyer - I see constantly, the failure of the system to simply go into every case with an open mind.
The myth of the always credible victim is pervasive in our Courts and the "zero tollerance" domestic violence policy that our police and our prosecution follows ignores the documented reality that, a) accusers will lie; and b)almost 50% of all violence was precipitated by an act of violence by the "victim".
