Exonerated 5 member Yusef Salaam has gone from wrongful imprisonment to winning his city council primary tonight…he will almost certainly win the general election. Historic night and an amazing story.

 
The Central Park Five were all guilty as hell, and anyone following the story knows it. They all PLEADED GUILTY, with both lawyers and parents present. Gee, wonder why they would do that if they were innocent? It's a puzzle isn't it?

It was known at trial that there was a sixth attacker, whose DNA was found on the victim. This was not in dispute. Later that attacker confessed to the crime from his prison cell (convicted on another crime) which caused the New York DA to exonerate the CP5. Not only that, but they awarded the CP5 MILLIONS of taxpayer dollars for their trouble!

Everything wrong with New York's criminal justice system, in one lengthy case. Rapists were rightly convicted, then paid millions for their inconvenience.

To those who dispute the above, please provide an explanation of why they pleaded guilty. With their lawyers agreeing to it.

They were 15 without parents or a lawyer and confessed after being interrogated for ten hours and told……The others are saying you did it…You better get your story down or you will take the blame.
Alll of their stories were different, none could identify the crime scene, they had no blood or DNA on them and the DNA from the scene was not them

The guy whose DNA matched was eventually caught and convicted

The State settled for $40 million
 
Two unanimous, multicultural juries convicted them, despite aggressive defense lawyers putting on their best case.

Due to the hysteria of the Central Park 5 and calls for Justice for the victim, there was no other likely outcome
