Yusef Salaam, one of the exonerated Central Park 5 men, is running for New York's Harlem state senate seat

[2aguy]

The police lied about Salaam who along with 4 of the 5 had no criminal record. He was also the brightest of the five and was never involved in any crime before or after that night

Yeah...wrong....

 

[2aguy]

This was a high profile case. Trump declaring their guilt made it more so.
Police were under immense pressure to solve the case. The tactics used against isolated minors to coerce a confession have been widely condemned and are no longer allowed.
So much so that the State paid $40 million in damaged

No...deblasio paid out without allowing a trial...you moron....

When investigators at one point asked the fifth suspect, Yusef Salaam, why he had tried to smash the victim's skull, he replied, “It was fun.”

Interesting “confession”
Isolate him for 12 hours with no lawyer and no parents present.
Scream at the 15 year old and lie and tell him the others had already said he raped her so he had better confess with “his version”

None of the five told the same story and their facts about where the rape occurred and how she was injured all differed.
In a brutally bloody rape, none of them had any blood on them and none left any DNA at the scene

So you've seen the Netflix movie.

Ken Burns was better
But I have read heavily on it
The boys were obviously railroaded

In 2002, a convicted serial rapist named Matias Reyes — who was already serving a 33-years-to-life sentence for other felonies but had never been investigated as a suspect in the Central Park jogger case — suddenly confessed to having perpetrated Trisha Meili's April 19, 1989 rape. Authorities quickly confirmed his claim by matching his DNA with the DNA from the semen which had been collected during the original investigation thirteen years earlier.

Interesting omission in the boys “confessions”

Under immense pressure to confess and clear themselves, not one of the five told a story where there was a sixth attacker who actually did the rape and beating.

Each gave a different version with no mention of Reyes

At least according to Netflix. They obviously learned a lesson because they never went Wilding again.

At least according to the court that completely exonerated them

This is something I readily understand. Black men will sometimes fail to address exonerating evidence in a misguided effort to grow some kind of street cred.

A total racially motivated decision. One that former the basis of justifying similar crimes against white women.

Their conviction was racially motivated egged on by Trump

No...they are violent sociopaths.

Very lucky sociopaths in that deblasio is an idiot.....

Are you really this brain dead?

Trump was right. The 5 were guilty and confessed.

Some “confession”

After a 14/15 year old is isolated all night and screamed at by police, the cops come in and say……Guess what? The other four have all confessed and they all name you as the rapist. You had better confess right now with your story or you will spend the rest of your life in jail.

Funny part was none of those five confessions even mention an older dude who actually did the rape and beating.

The 5 had no idea that the guy ever existed.

Bingo

The guy that actually did it and those supposedly there had no idea.
Some police work

Meaning the patsy wasn't found until way later.

 

[Godboy]

I've studied videos of coerced confessions, and this is defiantly not coerced in any way, whatsoever. It has none of the earmarks of a coerced confession, such as leading questions, threats, reward/punishment for right/wrong answers, etc...

This is a genuine confession.

Never heard that before. That shit was detailed and clearly uncoerced. Those fucking scumbags werent innocent.

 

[rightwinger]

Meaning the patsy wasn't found until way later.

Some “pasty”

A guy who actually could describe the scene and left his DNA in the victim.

Someone the Central Park 5 never even mentioned

Here's another one. This perp/witness also says that Yusef was there.
