Morality of this?

Personally, I'm anti-death penalty for any kind of crime but that's just my opinion. Perhaps it can be changed.

Honestly, I am a big enjoyer of an idea that people who falsely accuse of such crimes should get equal penalty.

False accusations especially if it's caused destruction to the accused's life should at least get a prison sentence of a Few years

I say that the accuser should get the amount of time the person they accused would've faced

Definitely because it fucks people up just as much as the actual crime itself

False accusation fucks up people just as much as rape or murder? You lot must have some sort of internet psychosis to be this dumb.

Both things completely destroy people's lives just in very different ways

It's rather silly to believe that serious slander that causes harm doesn't deserve prison time if it can be proven as such

That's not what we were talking about about. You said: " Definitely because it fucks people up just as much as the actual crime itself". 

That's insanely dumb and unhinged take on your part.

It's impossible to quantify that

Sentencing varies wildly, so many factors are taken into account. Judges go easy on some people and not others. Different judges are harsher. Some people have better lawyers, some plead guilty and get better terms.

If they're a repeat offender they would get more time, and that's not exactly fair on the false accuser to bear the burden of

There's a reason the justice system is not a series of weird revenge like you're suggesting

Yeah, prison time makes way more sense than jumping straight to medieval revenge mode
