All 5 of the boys were convicted of the murder after falsely admitting to the crime, despite DNA not matching any of them and inconsistency in their stories. Salaam later said that they were deprived of food, water, and sleep for over 24 hours by the police. He also said that they were beating them, which led to them falsely admitting. They spent 6-13 years behind bars.
