[@michaelm4021]

I just finished watching the Ken Burns documentary titled, "The Central Park Five", and those young men all came from good families, and seemed to be relatively good kids (your typical teenagers). Sadly, they were in the wrong place at the wrong time, hanging-out with that large group of young men who were "wilding" in the park the night the jogger was attacked. It seems as though "The Central Park Five" were simply among the first 5 to 7 kids from that group that the police were able to apprehend that night, and into the following day. These kids came from lower-middle class families, some living in the projects, and had no legal counsel. In fact, the kids and their families were willing to fully cooperate with the police, which proved to be a fatal mistake. The one exception, Salaam, whose mother was more educated and sophisticated compared to the other parents/guardians, and she prevented him from giving a statement to police (a wise move). The fact that these young men, all juveniles at the time, were interrogated on camera by police and prosecutors - without legal counsel - is especially troubling. The Korey Wise interview is especially difficult to watch, as he clearly struggles to tell police and prosecutors the story they want to hear. Absolutely diabolical! There were no eyewitnesses that place these five directly at the scene of the attack. No DNA evidence or matches between the "Central Park Five" and the victim. Basically, all the prosecution offered were 'confessions' that were masterfully contrived by a police force that was notoriously corrupt during the 70's and 80's. Added to this troublesome mix, the fact that a serial rapist (Matias Reyes) was brutally attacking women in this very same area of the city during the exact time-frame the jogger was attacked. This is an absolutely disgraceful, shameful miscarriage of justice.

[@bettythomas8660]

Her memory seems fine to me! It's constantly reported that she doesn't remember anything, which I thought was due to her injuries.......Ummm😡

[@P5YcHoKiLLa]

Linda Fairstein should have replaced those boys, in prison. She willfully and knowingly put innocent boys, children, in prison for a crime they didn't commit and left the real perpetrator out on the streets to commit more violent crimes, falsely giving citizens the belief they were then safe when they were not, every police officer who coerced a false confession from those children should also have replaced them in prison.

[@Soffity]

The number of people who live in New York is completely mind boggling to me. People everywhere. I think how much it must be to not only feed these people every day but to get rid of the waste and garbage they produce. I’m so very grateful and blessed I live in a country with a very small population compared to the area and I can go walking and not see anything bar nature and the wildlife.

[@christophergibbs3364]

I recall as a kid sitting his exams in the UK the odd news reports that kept on appearing reference this case, i use the word odd yet it could have bi meaning because the reporting over in the U.K. was in line with like ... " Look at these kids who are so obviously been fitted up for something that the facts show they didnt do " It was never a surprise to me these lads were not guilty, i just sadly forgot about them and lived my life. But i was 16 at that time , now 46 it makes me shiver to think all that life i had and all that they had stolen. I know an innocent lady also carries a life sentence.

So, is he seriously trying to tell us that EVERY INTERVIEWED PERSON who were in each of the interrogation rooms are liars???

[@jacksonmarshallkramer5087]

I'm a former deputy sheriff, and the issue that I have is that in a crowd of 30 kids who bail when "The Man" shows up, five are caught. Miraculously, all five little rapists are caught. What are the chances? Not very good. Then, and even more importantly, their DNA is tested against the DNA recovered from the victim. NO MATCH x5. At that point, they should have been cut loose, and a press conference held. The results should have been made public. Today, no one is charged until the results are in. It's the decider. To continue was prosecutorial misconduct.

[@thefungusshow2535]

They didn't catch "the five" right away. They interviewed 37 people and those 5 names kept being mentioned as the perpetrators. (there were also a couple others, but they were charged separately) Read the Armstrong report. These guys are not angels. That is why they were never exonerated, contrary to what you have been told. DNA proved Reyes was there. It did nothing to prove the others were not there. Wise knew of the walkman that was stolen from the rape victim. There is no way he could have known this if he wasn't there. They knew things that could only be known by someone who was there.

You sure you're a sheriff ? Because what was shown in the NetFlix documentary is NOT what happened that night, genius. Do you think that an AVENGERS movie is real, too ? The NetFlix piece on the CP5 is fiction. It's make-believe. They WERE guilty. Deal with it, clown. P.S. Jussie Smollett wasn't attacked with bleach at 2 AM. Tawana Brawley wasn't raped by 6 white men. Michael Brown wasn't putting his hands up saying "Don't Shoot." Trayvon Martin was home when he decided to look for trouble. Notice a pattern, Jackson ?

She has nothing to apologize for; she had nothing to do with their conviction. But let me ask...you're very ready to blame the victim, so how about you blame the group of young men who shouldn't have been in the park either. Had they not been in the park that night, they never would have been arrested, so they are to blame for their own conviction. The park was dangerous, after all. They (or their parents, really) should have been using their heads.

[@Newmanbadazz]

Universal Soldier I don’t blame teenagers for playing in the park after dark because that’s what teenagers do. After the conviction she became friends with the prosecutor and detectives on the case. Some part of her actually believes that those boys are responsible for what happen and for that she owes them an apology.

Instead of watching a made-up fake-story documentary that is make-believe, why don't you read the court transcripts ? Or is that too hard for you ?

[@shondellbutler5055]

She is not as much of a victim as she wants people to think. She knows those boys did not do it

So-people are suppose to galavant all they want in the daytime. Doing all types of goofy stuff.And In the evening they’re suppose to keep that same energy??? And you expect them to be all skippy dippity doo? Like...no offense that sounds absurd

[@aliciaveal1284]

This case and so many more hurt my heart. Nobody should endure what the jogger did and no Innocent Person should be may yo pay for a crime they didn't do. Police DAs and all legal people make a dedicated decision and should up hold their duties. If I make a pizza that makes someone sick, I'm held responsible but not cops and others.

[@meeeka]

An idyll...I was walking through the park with my first husband-a white German man and me a woman of color- and we were verbally attacked and threatened -in the white part of the park, not just the black parts.

I love it when Donald Trump said Central Park is something Trump should not be allowed to touch.

[@spectemuragendo8837]

What happened to those children is an atrocity of the highest magnitude and the gross criminal injustice they faced at the hands of NYPD and the NYCDA is damnable. Their abuse at the hands of adults has completely overshadowed the abuse the rape victim encountered that night. All of this falls on the racist devils within the NYC justice system from top down!!!

[@buf7ord]

Oh I see, the monetary gap between the wealthy and everyone else is what causes violent crime. People have no personal responsibility. I get it. Thank you big brother.

[@saintonerism]

This is all BS!!!! All of the participants who were responsible for falsely convicting the Central park five should of went to prison for the same time they went to jail. And none of them did. They went on to live their lives KNOWING the these kids were locked up for a crime they didn't t commit. It makes me angry!!!! The system is corrupt all the way from the police to the Governor. KNOW THE LAW...KNOW YOUR RIGHTS it could save your life.

Beauty of central park at 9pm?? wth that was careless of her to jog at that time in nyc dont matter what year it was smdh

[@universalsoldier2293]

Why? Because she might run into a group a minor boys who are waiting to hurt her? Why aren't you shaming the CP5 for being in the park at that hour? It was careless of them to be in the park at that hour, especially since they were minors.

This is what happens when a society ,discriminates against itself ,one Side neglected completely and left to rot for no just reason ,and the other side who see themselves as snow flakes who are on top of the food chain and mare sure no crumb ever fall into the hands of those they do not even see as humans ,and annoyance that needed to be starved out or chained ,never to be seen ,but at what cost to that society.

The fact that Trish Meili thinks the police, detectives and prosecutors did nothing wrong and is still working to clear their names of any wrong doing makes me wish her rapist would have finished the job.

You're a 70-IQ bimbo, Cyndi. The perps are guilty.
