This whole case is a fallacy. The wrong people were convicted. Matias Reyes was the real rapist. The five teenage boys lives were effected forever.

This case is filled with emotion. Imagine being in prison for 6-13 years for a crime you didn't commit. Imagine how these young boys parents feel with their innocent sons being taken away from them. Imagine getting out of prison and not being able to have a normal life ever again. The story is depressing and heartbreaking.

There is no physical evidence to prove that the teenage boys are guilty. Their conviction was based solely on planned, pressured confessions from the detectives.

Many people believe that racism has nothing to do with the case. They believe that the five boys were actually guilty (before Matias Reyes confessed). Donald Trump even created a newspaper article about how they should get the death penalty.

My position on the argument is that the teenage boys were convicted because of their race. New York at that time, was full of racial violence, so the moment the woman jogger was attacked, they assume a colored person is guilty for it.

The Central Park Five is a documentary about the Central Park Jogger Case that took place in 1989 in New York. Four African-American and one Latino young men ages 14-16 were charged for assaulting and raping Trisha Meili while she was jogging in Central Park. The argument in this controversial case is racism.
