More proof our legal system is fucked

I'm all about people paying their child support on time. I hate deadbeat dads and the shitty excuses they have for not taking care of their kids. But it's a whole different story when the kid isn't yours. A man in Ft Lauderdale apparently owes $10K in child support to a kid that isn't his and has the DNA evidence to back it up! Francisco Rodriguez even has a written affidavit from the girl's mother saying he is not the father and should not have to pay. The state of Florida is still looking to make him pay the $10K plus the $305 per month. The guy even went to jail and apparently he can't do anything because he missed the deadline to contest the paternity suit. Apparently there aren't any clear national guidelines with some states having deadlines and others having nothing. The Florida peeps say there's nothing they can do because it's the law. Now I'm no legal expert, but if the guy isn't he father and has the scientific proof to back it up I think it's okay to stop seeking payment. This is another example of people not applying basic common sense to the law and further tying up valuable taxpayer dollars.
