1 Miscarriages of Justice ~ (1)Central Park 5 Case ~ Bad Confession (youth) Part 1 of (3)
21 aug. 2010
Central Park 5 case concerns 5 youths that were running wild around central park assaulting persons.They were arrested and soon after a woman Trisha Miley was found raped and badly beaten and unconcious. They were interrogated and 4 out of 5 of them confessed to raping the woman.
Subsequently a serial rapist and murderer Matiais Reyes operating in that area was caught and he admitted to raping that woman. It appeared the teenagers were innnocent. Post DNA…Why did they confess to a crime they didn’t commit. Disturbing and uncannily accurate confessions; and who is to blame?
Did the police hold and interrogate them long enough to deceive and trick them into confessing.
Were they merely parrots to police interrogators?

It’s the case that further polarized an already tense and divided New York City. In April 1989, a young investment banker went for a run in Central Park. Her vicious rape and beating was splashed across the headlines. But the five teenagers who were arrested and eventually convicted of the heinous crime, known as the Central Park Five, were actually innocent. They are the subject of Netflix’s new limited series “When They See Us.” InsideEdition.com’s Stephanie Officer spoke to civil rights icon Rev. Jesse Jackson about the effect the case had nationwide.
