On April 19, 1989, a jogger was brutally beaten and raped in New York City’s Central Park and five teenagers, four African American and one Latino,  were convicted of the crime which they did not commit.

"You have the right to an attorney if you can not afford an attorney one will be provided for you", the boys were too young and too scared to realize the big mistake they had made by waiving their rights to an attorney. If an attorney would've been present during the interrogation the boys wouldn't have self-incriminated themselves

There was ZERO evidence on the crime scene and on the jogger implicating the five boys. The only evidence, semen, found had no DNA connection with any of the boys. The only evidence used in the trails were the interrogating videos which should've been thrown out due to each story being different and details being factually wrong.

All five boys were mistreated, starved, and interrogated from 14 to 30 hours. They were treated with anger and disrespect because of their color skin and only because of that fact they were guilty from the beginning. If the boys would've been Caucasian they would've been treated nicely, with respect and would've been innocent until proven guilty. From the beginning the five boys were guilty, the detectives didn't care evidence showed otherwise all they wanted was to convict someone even if they were innocent.

2002 Matias Reyes, a convicted murder and serial rapist in prison, confessed to committing the crime against the Central Park jogger and the DNA evidence confirmed his confession. The convictions were  then vacated and the charges withdrawn. Then the five convicted men sued New York City in 2003 for malicious prosecution, racial discrimination, and emotional distress and in 2014 received $41 million which I believe is fair and they should receive more
