So this is legit. I didn't trust it cuz I saw it being talked about by some of the typical "everything is racist" crowd. But now I actuallt really wanna check it out.

The evidence shows they did attack the woman, and the man who confessed to the rape in jail was never interrogated by police. There is also no evidence whatsoever that their confessions were coerced or their rights were violated by the police.

only a fool—or perhaps a liar—could think that “the Central Park Five” were innocent of anything, much less the attack on Trisha Meili

This show sounds like pure propaganda meant specifically for people who want to be told what to believe. These guys have never retracted the confession that their sole intent for being in Central Park that night was to attack and terrorize innocent people, and there is no reason to believe they did not attack the jogger. They had done it before.

quote:

---

Multiple videotaped confessions of “the Five”; the presence of semen, blood, and hair on all of the suspects; a scratch on Kevin Richardson’s neck that, in the company of his father, he admitted he received by Meili; and several witness accounts confirmed for the police that the vermin who Ken Burns would years later make into martyrs were as guilty as sin itself of initiating and facilitating an attack against Trisha Meili that nearly cost the poor woman her life. Matias Reyes semen was the only attacker’s DNA found on Meili or at the crime scene. However, neither this nor the word of this serial rapist and murderer that he acted alone goes any distance whatsoever toward proving the innocence of “the Central Park Five.”

Linda Fairstein, the original prosecutor in this case, expressed her certainty that “the Central Park Five” are guilty. Reyes, she believes, merely finished what they had started. As for this notion that the NYPD “coerced” false confessions from the suspects, Mike Sheehan, one of the central detectives who investigated the crime, and who, in his own words, had spent decades taking “over 1,000 confessions, in 3,000 homicides,” has nothing but contempt. “All of this stuff about coercion really pisses me off,” Sheehan has said. “Do you honestly think that we—detectives with more than 20 years in, family men with pensions—would risk all of that so we could put words in the mouth of a 15 year-old kid? Absolutely not.”

I love when people post links from Pro Trump websites

What about links from anti-Trump websites which includes 99% of all Mainstream News sites?

Most of ya'll on this board are incredibly zhitty at picking heroes....

This incident aside, these were some garbage human beings who committed much mayhem...

I love when people post links from Pro Trump websites. Wow such credibility they have.

Pro-Trump websites? How very foolish of you. Do the New York Times or CNN better suit your needs?

If the police had found Reyes in 1989, those 5 kids would have never been charged.

Pure speculation resulting from your personal bias.
