This video is the statement and or interview  given by Korey Wise under duress.  There is a clear indication that something was wrong. Several inconsistencies, body language, and the lack of representation by counsel and parents. While the list goes on, this video is also one of great learning and open discussion to what should and should not be admissible in court. If there is any indication that coercion is involved, it should be investigated without question.

The Central Park 5 can be analyzed through many different lenses. My point of view takes in all accounts of this case. There are so many aspects to how this situation could have been prevented, and these young males protected from their very premature decisions.

The story of these 5 young males are astonishing. Most of us would say to ourselves... How could something like this happen in America? Did this happen simple because it was sensationalized on race? or Did this happen because of a failed Judicial system that simply didn't care to focus on the facts? Are the police to blame for the initial arrests and the coerced confession?
