The Central Park Five, Exonerated But Justice Still Denied! with Yusef Salaam, exoneree Sharonne Salaam, parent Roger Wareham, attorney
A long-delayed $250 million NYC civil suit finally goes to trial this year â putting the reputations of some of the cityâs most powerful on the line. After 22 years the then teens, Kharey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam and Raymond Santana, are no longer convicted felons or registered sex offenders, but theyâre still best known as the Central Park 5. Each served from 7 to 13 years in prison for a rape they didnât commit, after Mayor Koch, the police, prosecutors and the media, along with mogul Donald Trump, who actively advocated for the death penalty for the youth, whipped the city into a racist lynch mob. Now, 22 years and counting, after five convictions, and then one shocking confession that upended the lives of all involved the Central Park jogger case is about to break open again â pitting the cityâs most powerful crime fighters against each other and the teens they wrongly jailed for the attack, who still await justice.
