(this is par for the course,but the libs soak it up)

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) - A black woman at the center of a 2007 torture case that raised questions about racism in West Virginia now says she lied about being a victim.

The law office of Columbus, Ohio, attorney Byron L. Potts says Megan Williams will attend a Wednesday afternoon news conference there during which Potts or Williams will discuss why she lied about being assaulted by a gang of white people in Logan County.

Seven people pleaded guilty to a variety of crimes in that case. All but one were sentenced to lengthy jail terms.

Brian Abraham, the former prosecutor who oversaw the cases, called Williams' new claim absurd. He tells The Associated Press the seven were convicted on physical evidence and their own statements.
