Officer disputes Netflix portrayal of Central Park Five case

The Netflix limited series "When They See Us" tells the story of five teen boys of color who were wrongfully convicted in 1990 of raping and leaving a white female jogger for dead in New York City's Central Park. CNN's Michael Smerconish talks with a former NYPD officer who made arrests in the case. #CNN #News

The Armstrong Report includes a number of other details not listed below. -Semen, dirt, and grass stains that were found on Kevin Richardson's underwear (it was argued that the presence of semen on the crotch of his underwear was consistent with the confessions that they were unable to ejaculate while attempting to rape Trisha Meili). Semen stains were also found on Antron McCray's underwear and Raymond Santana's sweatshirt. -Mud was found caked on the front of Antron McCray's Calvin Klein jeans and hooded sweatshirt. The jogger was found with mud and dirt all over her body. Antron said that he fell in the mud while running from the police and then hid there. Korey Wise had washed his clothes when he got home on the night of the attacks. -Blood stains were found on Raymond Santana's right sneaker, Yusef Salaam's jacket, and on Steve Lopez's underwear. The traces on Santana's sneaker and Salaam's jacket were too small to match to the blood types of the victims. Korey Wise's friend's older sister, Melody Jackson, told investigators on the eve of the trial that Wise had confessed to her that he did not rape Trisha Meili but rather held and fondled her leg during the attack (Wise grabbing the victim's leg is in line with what both the surgeon and plastic surgeon observed at the hospital, red outlines of different-sized hand prints on her thighs and lower legs). -As officers were taking Clarence Thomas and Kevin Richardson to the precinct, Thomas began to cry and blurted out, "I know who did the murder. I know where he lives and I'll tell you his name." Richardson said that he knew as well and agreed to give them the name. Then Thomas said that it was Antron McCray. According to the officers, Richardson agreed and said, "Yeah. That's who did it." This was before the female jogger was found. -Detective Michael Sheehan reported that while he was transporting Raymond Santana from the Central Park Precinct to the 20th Precinct, Santana on his own said, "I had nothing to do with the rape. All I did was feel the woman's t--s." This was prior to the police knowing about the rape. -Yusef Salaam admitted to carrying a metal pipe during the evening and stated that he was holding onto it for someone else. Jogger John Loughlin, who was seriously injured, was beaten with a pipe. -During the booking process, Officer Robert Powers said that when he told the defendants they shouldn't be out beating people, but "should be home with your girlfriends," Raymond Santana looked at a co-defendant, smiled, and remarked, "I already got mines," after which they both laughed. The statement was inadmissible in court because it wasn't preceded by a waiver of Miranda rights. -When Korey (then Kharey) Wise visited the scene on April 20th with a detective and an assistant district attorney, he remarked, "Damn, damn that's a lot of blood. Damn, this is really bad, that’s a lot of blood.... I knew she was bleeding, but I didn't know how bad she was. It was really dark. I couldn't see how much blood there was at night." -On April 20th, the day after the assault on Trisha Meili, Kevin Richardson and Raymond Santana supposedly each pointed out the location where the attack occurred. Detectives quoted Richardson as saying, "This is where we got her ... where the raping occurred." -Two of Korey Wise's friends, Ronald Williams and Shabazz Head, told the police that when they encountered Wise on April 20, 1989, he told them, "You heard about that woman that was beat up and raped in the park last night. That was us!" -Dennis Commedo, a boy who was part of the larger group in the park that night, reportedly told police that when he encountered Kevin Richardson in a ball field in the park, Richardson told him, "We just raped somebody." -Two teens who were part of the larger group said that they saw Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Steven Lopez, Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, and others coming over the hill from the 102nd Street transverse, the direction where the rape occurred. -When talking about first seeing the female jogger in his confession, Antron McCray said, "We didn't think it was a lady at first when we seen her. She looked like a man." That description is exactly what the two men who found her lying in the ravine four hours later told the police, that they thought she looked like a man. The confusion was due to her slender build and short hair. This connection is important because it's a detail that is far less likely to have been coerced. Statements given by a number of other teens named the five as participating with them in other assaults in the park. When Matias Reyes confessed in 2002, he revealed something that the police had not known initially. He said that he had stolen Trisha Meili's fanny pack and Walkman, which had not been found at the scene. Yet, in notes from an interview with Korey Wise on April 20, 1989, the day after the attack, Wise said that a guy named "Rudy" took Meili's "Walkman pouch" and Walkman. Investigators believed that Wise, who is hard of hearing, had gotten Reyes' name wrong and thought it was Rudy. -A former inmate-acquaintance of Matias Reyes claimed that Reyes told him that the attack on the jogger was already happening when he joined, attracted to the location by the jogger's screams. -The Armstrong Report concluded that "the most likely scenario for the events of April 19, 1989 was that the defendants came up on the jogger and subjected her to the same kind of attack, albeit with sexual overtones, that they inflicted upon other victims in the park that night. Perhaps attracted to the scene by the jogger's screams, Reyes either joined in the attack as it was ending or waited until the defendants had moved on to their next victims before descending upon her himself, raping her and inflicting upon her the brutal injuries that almost caused her death."

Correct. They also beat up the victim and left her for d*ad. One of the kids confessed to someone named Rudy stealing the jogger’s walkman as they held her down. The police had no idea of any walkman.

Evidence offered at court Four of the five had confessed to police about other attacks, including robbery and assault, committed in the park in other areas on the night of April 19.[5] They also made videotaped confessions that related to the assault on the female jogger. "Unlike the accurate accounts they gave to police of those events, their confessions to the assault on the jogger were wrong about where, when and how it happened."[46] None of the five said that he had raped the jogger, but each confessed to having been an accomplice to the rape.[5] Each youth said that he had only helped restrain the jogger, or touched her, while one or more others had raped her. Their confessions varied as to who they identified as having participated in the rape, including naming several youths who were never charged.[5] Antron McCray said that a "Puerto Rican kid with a hoodie" had been the one who had raped the jogger.[5] Their confessions "were wrong about where, when and how it happened." Although four suspects (except Salaam) confessed on videotape in the presence of a parent or guardian, they retracted their statements within weeks, claiming that they had been intimidated, lied to, and coerced by police into making false confessions. While the confessions were videotaped, the hours of interrogation that preceded the confessions were not.[32] In a pretrial hearing on February 23, 1990, Judge Thomas B. Galligan of the State Supreme Court of Manhattan, who had been assigned the case, said that he would accept the videotape confessions and Salaam's unsigned statement as prosecution evidence at trial, despite defense counsels' objections.[47] He said that Salaam's statement was being admitted as evidence on the grounds that Salaam had lied to police about his age and showed them false identification.[48] Salaam was implicated in the rape by the confessions of the other four youths. Analysis indicated that none of the suspects had DNA that matched the DNA collected from two parts of the crime scene. But results were reported as "inconclusive" by police.[47] Both samples of semen having DNA had come from the same source, a single unidentified man.[32] Since no DNA or other substantive physical evidence tied the suspects to the crime, the prosecution's case rested almost entirely on the youths' confessions.[18] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Park_jogger_case#Evidence_offered_at_court have fun taking apart the facts if you can debunk it I would like to see it

However that is what all teenagers do whether they are white black or hispanic we cannot convict them for being teenagers. This is what leads me and other members of the general public to believe that this was racially motivated. These young men were convicted on hearsay and no rock-solid evidence which happens every single day in the black.

You don't know how DNA works if you think DNA remains viable hours after. It was 1989. The reason why Reyes's DNA remain usable was because he left it in a sock. Skin under a nail exposed to air and probably washed by the medical staff anyway is not something you can still use. You people believe DNA is some sort of magic.

[@Jfrozin]

The victims hair was found on them. Reyes came hours later and raped her. They had very little understand of DNA until years later. They never even checked for DNA under nails back then so of course none was found. You have absolutely no understand of DNA history and you should be quiet. Yes the fucking descriptions the kids gave 100% matched her body. They beat and stabbed her. They also beat and robbed numerous other people as well on the same night.

Well didn't he JUST say Raymond had a scratch? #3 these boys supposedly beat the crap out of this woman (Google images of the victims shirt at the scene- it's literally all red and SOAKED in blood), yet ZERO physical evidence any of the boys were there.

You mean to tell me that not 1 of them had the balls to resist till you almost completed your sentence!?!? They served almost all of their complete sentences. What would you be doing if you were wrongfully convicted? Fighting every day is what I’d be doing. They knew they had a part in it and the one guy that actually was with them made penetration and left his dna. They all confessed to not wanting to say they didn’t have sex with her because they didn’t want to be looked down upon by friends or accomplices in the moment. They knew They were getting ready to be released as rapist and would never be accepted by their peers or community ever again. God has judgement in the end.

He went on to rape 5 more women after the jogger. Killing, Lourdes Gonzalez.

[@00ghostcobra]

@soli Sanchez I never said that he was in the room when they were being coerced.. I am saying that the coercion started upon arrest before they even reached the station.. And for all we know he could be lying about what they said when he first arrested them. They all are/were that is why there was not any transcripts of what was said during interrogation. These cops wanted free reign to just make shit up.. And it is not just the people on this page that disagree with this clown...but folks all over both online and off that are not buying these obvious further smearing of the innocent men.. And Reyes was not one of the rapists, he was the only one according to DNA EVIDENCE. Seems to me you are the one not critically thinking.. Also I am not sure what you expect the other inmates to do to Reyes. Are they supposed to beat him up out of some sort of solidarity to the Exonerated Five?
