That’s what I’m sayin! If I’m the defense I would hammer that point all the way home! Trisha Meili’s white shirt was drenched dark red! The only way those boys could rape her is if they levitated over her body and raped her supernaturally. What was alleged was physically impossible.
Those boys were "worked over" by those crooked scumbag cops, into giving false statements, and implicating. each other, and themselves. They were not informed of their rights, deprived of water, food, sleep, threatened, physically assaulted, for hours, the cops and the prosecutors ,had no evidence, so they har to extort the false coerced confessions. from the innocent kids. To this day ,that lying pig , cunt, Linda Fairstein, said that those kids were not mistreated, or worked over by the police.

She remembered a lot of details of her life prior to the rape: clothing, time from work, meetings at work, etc. I think she remembered it was only one individual (Reyes).

@Iyabinghi Ashanti - - good point, because if the jogger acknowledges the innocence of these 5 men, it would heap more fire on Linda Fraudstein's head; they can both try to deny the truth but it will eventually come back to bite them.

Jeremy Falkowski if you watch the confession tapes, at one point Raymond says he was kneeling down feeling the jogger’s breasts. No mud was found on his pants so that wouldn’t make sense. The boys did not have one drop of blood on their clothes even though they claimed to have pulled off Trisha’s shirt before the rape which was completely soaked in blood. That doesn’t make sense. Trisha was dragged into a wooded area and left there but Raymond said that they left her body there on the road where she was struck, which is false. The boys kept calling Antron “Antwon”, so the fact they couldn’t even get his name right shows they had no idea who he was. At the beginning of the confession it’s weird how some of them claim they didn’t know each other and didn’t know last names but conveniently found out each other’s last names the night of the rape. Now the one who ACTUALLY committed this crime was matias Reyes. Don’t you think it’s odd that his name isn’t even mentioned ONCE? And I’m not just talking about Raymond, Antron, korey, and kevin’s tapes. He’s not even mentioned in Other boys tapes that were interviewed (ex: Steve, Clarence, etc). Nobody mentioned that a Walkman was at the scene, which matias had taken from Trisha after he raped her. Nobody mentioned her car keys, which matias claimed to have thrown in a random area which is why the police were unable to get into Trisha’s car. Kevin said at one point the jogger was struck and fell backwards but then said her face was in the ground. Elizabeth tried to trap Steve Lopez by claiming that ALL the boys were stating he was holding her down. Obviously Steve denied this on CAMERA because this wasn’t true. He left the park before the events happened. There’s a reason why he wasn’t even indicted for the rape because there was no way to trap him into confessing that he was at the scene. I really shouldn’t even have to explain all this because at the end of the day, none of the boys dna were found anywhere at the scene which includes fingerprints, semen, and blood. It’s common sense that they were no near Trisha. The boys are claiming that Antron and kevin were raping her so why wasn’t their dna found? It makes no sense. The boys couldn’t even correctly describe what the jogger was wearing.

@@tahirab7859 I made my point through sarcasm. Was anyone not a victim in this case, besides the white man, of course? According to you, the jurors were also victims of peer pressure.
@@tahirab7859 Because no one wanted to be held accountable for what was thought to be a decision based on race and "the wrongful prosecution of five innocent teens." But let me ask you this and I hope you reply. The cops knew various facts about the location and manner of attack. At the same time, it's been asserted that the police and investigators had them confess to a crime that they had absolutely nothing to do with. So the interrogators went as far as to have them admit to a rape they didn't commit but were unable to coerce out of them the exact location where the rape occurred? What kind of coercive interrogation leaves the confession tape full of statements that do not line up with the facts?
@@tahirab7859 This is what happened: They did exactly what they said they did to the jogger in the confession. Their DNA was not found because they were unable to have sex with her. After all, they weren't sociopaths like Reyes who had no problem with raping a stranger in the park. The ones who got on top of her, pretended to be hard and having sex with Meili so as not to look weak in front of their friends. Meanwhile, Matias Reyes, high on angel dust and crack was in the park and heard the woman screaming and the scuffle taking place between Trisha Meili and the Central Park Five. He ran over and the Central Park Five got alarmed and took off. After they left, Reyes found a piece of wood and hit her in the head. He then dragged her away to a more secluded place in the park and raped her. He then hit her numerous times with a large rock. He left her for dead and took off. In 2002, a gang in prison threatened to kill Reyes if he didn't confess to being the sole perpetrator of the crime against the jogger. I am absolutely sure this is what happened. It might not fit the narrative you been fed in documentaries, a mini-series or interviews with Oprah. Just please take a moment to consider the above scenario without being prejudice or defensive. The Central Park Five shouldn't be have been convicted of Meili's rape, but should have been charged and found guilty of attempted rape, sexual assault and assault, in addition to the other muggings and assaults they committed that night.
Ok so... no evidence found matched the defendants The DNA found at the crime scene didn’t match the defendants They told the jury’s that they were brutally beaten bullied by The polices to say that they did it They didn’t even know each other All their story’s they were forced to tell didn’t match each other’s or what really happened They even placed it in the wrong area of the park Evidence said that there was only one attacker but charged 5 people for it BUT THEY STILL WERE FOUND GUILTY... now I’m not a lawyer, judge or jury but how the hell is that possible

ThatBadGuy once again... use common high school education. I also come from a family of lawyers. So I have some knowledge that confessions are commonly false and coerced. The only valid parts of the confessions are when they actually match up with each other AND the facts. In this case, their confessions did not match up with simple facts such as location, clothes, and they didn’t even know each other to begin with.
ThatBadGuy I did watch all eleven videos. And it is not nonsense that I come from a family of lawyers because I can ask them about the justice system since they are closely involved with it. Whenever I ask about cases, I don’t say the specific case, but I ask a broader question that can be applied to the specific case and others. We also do not not what conversations went on before the taped confessions were made. Yes, their parents are there, but the parents did say that if they confessed they can go home. It can be inferred that this influenced the children and their parents’ willingness to help the police.
ThatBadGuy I have a correction to your statement. It was not a school night. Yes it was on a Wednesday, but they did not have school until the next Monday. It is also very likely that race was a factor in their convictions. You have to understand the time and state of New York in the late 80s and early 90s. Another major factor in their convictions was the magnitude of false and misleading media coverage. I have also taken a psychology class to understand how media can effect perceptions on people, especially in cases like this. I am using my education to make opinions, not a biased website that misleads and misinforms readers.
Why is Linda Fairstein in this report? That's incredibly offensive, she is completely responsible for the coerced confessions of the 5 CHILDREN who had their lives stolen from them. SHE SHOULD BE IN PRISON.
All the people responsible don’t appear to be remorseful nor have they faced any repercussions for their actions. It sounds like they are still standing by their acts.
6:24 "the semen did not match any of the defendants." BRUHHHHHH I LAUGHED SO HARD LIKE bitttttttttttch how did y'all even get an arrest warrant??????????????
Those taped confessions were made after COUNTLESS HOURS of police coercing, tricking and practically threatening those boys to put themselves and the others into the story when they weren't even there. 18+ hours with no parents, no attorneys, no food - THEN they filmed the boys saying what they had been told they needed to say in order to go home - which also, never happened until after YEARS of incarceration. No one ever said that what happened to the jogger wasn't horrific - but THESE boys had nothing to do with it. Those cops and especially Linda Fairstein should be ASHAMED - and should maybe spend a few years in jail themselves for false imprisonment.
The sad thing about this case is that the prosecutors and the police knew that they did not have a strong case other than the coerced confessions. They even had separate trials to make the pieces fit because they knew they would not get a conviction if they tried them all together due to all the inconsistencies.
I'm a night runner, usually after 9 pm. But I lived in a gated area or older area Virgina and now Arizona. But there's nothing that would make me run in Central Park like that.
Why didn't god stop them from being arrested in the first place? Was it so he could let the real culprit go on to rape again and again and eventually rape and murder pregnant woman in front her children. Your god is one fucked up piece of shit.
@@Diva8204 The content of their character. How many lives they messed up that night in the park. It was really hard to listen to the violence those 37 teenagers did that night in the park. It was really disturbing and if you think it was the first time they did something like that, you are a gullible moron. You can't say that's teenagers being teenagers either. Most teenagers are not violent like these guys. There's something wrong with their DNA.
Santana said "López" in his confession.... Who the hell is López? Where was he in the trial? Why wasn't this asked in the trial by the boys defense team? 🤨 Right there that should of created doubt in the confession tapes 😒
I believe Steve Lopez was one of the first 5 of the large group of 30 guys they caught on the night of the attack. His confession tape along with a couple other boys who weren't charged in the end are on UA-cam. I don't know the full details as to why Steve Lopez and the other guys didn't get charged like these boys did. Probably cos they couldn't pin enough on them, they must not have lied well enough to please the police. Although I know out of the 30-40 guys, some went to jail for the attacks unrelated to this jogger and I heard one guy refused to lie about being part of the rape so they had nothing to use against him.
I thought you weren't supposed to be able to testify in court if you didn't remember what happened to you? This hole case is a rude awakening for United states of America & it still happening to us today😭😭
While I am appreciative ABC News covered this story, I am very disappointed and frankly find it problematic that they did not post the remaining two to three parts of this episode. Please consider posting the remaining parts of this episode so that there is no confusion or misinterpretation for viewers.
I saw the documentary on this a couple years ago and it is one of the most unjust things I've seen in my lifetime. All 5 kids were persuaded to rat out the others so they can go home that night. What these kids said during their so-called confessions were all coerced and carefully written out by the DA.
Mismatched DNA?! FATHER!!! Lord Jesus Christ save us all. Help and save the true Hebrew Israelites forgive us of our sins in Deuteronomy 28 from verse 1 to end (king James version)
“ I know I didn’t remember anything but wanted people to see how I was left” smh then the juror basically saying he knew they didn’t have the right people smh . This whole case was a joke and these jurors knew it
I'm thinking about covering this on my channel now. This is my first time I've ever heard of this ordeal so I'd have to do extensive research beyond this first. I don't see many covering this story. No evidence on them at all... This is just... Wow! I wasn't even a year old yet when this occurred.
One thing I'm also really curious about now is after the whole truth came out and the jogger knows it wasn't those 5 boys did she speak to them? Did they speak to her? She is still alive right? The link between the two...I don't get why she still testified without remembering anything, I'm all against rape too but hope she somehow also apologized to them, they lives were taken away at such a young age ... I'm just so happy Netflix made this movie because we would have never known just like that, it's now so simple to watch it anywhere and I'm glad they got to voice out what they went through! Seriously them police and Linda with Elizabeth bitch deserves to be punished!!! Im so mad, sad... Being black seriously is about surviving!
This is an interview she gave a year ago. At that time, she was not convinced they were innocent. www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-metro-central-park-jogger-interview-20180712-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0qw-1qz0nXWDEksLCMBdvv3ic1o4TBR0_UGAJdXnwAiji9OkCobiPgnKM
Dang that one juror who said you can’t make premature conclusions on emotions was aware....I do feel extremely sorry for what happened to Trisha, but If she didn’t have any recollection of what happened what was the point of her going up to the stand?
I already watched the show already but i just wanted to let this be known...Elizabeth (the jogger) she was Coerced just like the boys. They told that lady to lie and she did! Its so FREAKIN sad ppl like this are born on this earth! And the fact that she is trying to act innocent is DISGUSTING
Sorry......but if she didn't even remember the assault!!?? It couldn't be traumatic!!! I'm a survivor......no memory!? Not so horrific for her!! The crime........very serious!!
For not to remember anything she remembered her closures, but she didn’t remember who rapped her,now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying tht she was faking it, yes I am cause how she remember what she was wearing, oh my bad cause she didn’t see who hit her,now look I have seizures right & wen I have one I don’t remember nothing at all, not even what I was wearing,shoot I call myself thinking about what I had on but I just don’t remember until a family member or my kids tell me everything cause they asked what I remember & they ask me about my clothes like what didn’t yu have on,& the last thing I will remember is I had on some pajama pants, & they will say nope yu had on some jeans, then they started sways asking me what I remember after I just had a seizure, I can’t answer their questions cause I didn’t remember💯
We will never know why, but all of this had to happen and God was able to direct this and turn this around as we all know HE can. We may never see it or hear it, but trust and believe, EVERYONE who did wrong, covered up lies, told lies, manipulated, etc. will have to answer for their doings. EVERYONE, Linda, the cops, the jurors, Court Sketch Artist, Judge, the jogger and the list goes on. God sees everything and saw everything. No one can hide from God, and God cannot be mocked or deceived. I know we want justice, but believe me, the only we can possibly do at this time is pray for strength for the boys and pray for those that also influenced and inflicted harm, cause unless they repent and seek forgiveness, they’re already doomed. There’s NOTHING we can possibly do that God won’t do better. And I won’t wish that for anyone. It’s already handled. God bless and have faith. Righteous anger is okay but leave vengeance to the Lord, please and rest in His presence.
Why were the interrogators, who were able to "manufacture" the confessions that Central Park 5 committed rape, but were unable to get them to change the exact location of where the attack occurred?
they admitted to holding her down and slapping her while someone else raped her. what is so hard to understand? they would have not admitted to anything if they had not been there, and they were there in the park, harassing others and from what they admitted aiding the rapist. accomplices.
Did he just lie and say the prosecution was upfront with the jurors? Um, no you were NOT!! You didnt even tell the defense attorneys that you had semen in a sock that DIDN'T match any of them? Upfront my ass!! This whole thing was a lie, even the jogger not remembering. She remembered, just her memory didnt match the scenario your office created
Why is this lady in this video clearly stands by all of her actions, THAT WERE ALL EXTREMELY ILLEGAL. And she was disproven when all of those boyse convictions have been overturned. Whoever was incharge of this needs a serious reality check. This is so distasteful considering everything that has taken place due to HER ACTIONS. She saw 5 black and latino boys and decided to use her privilege in power to opress them. She shouldn't be given a platform. She shouldn't be regarded as one of the best in her field. She is a monster who shouldn't be able to do the things that she did. Absolutely disgusting
So u had no memory of the attack and still testified against these innocent black boys. Honestly Trisha should have been charged as well you are no longer than victim idc. she knew it was only one person aint no way she didn’t!
These young men admitted what they did, some in front of their parents. How would you feel if your son admitted his participation. In those days, I doubt seamen could be dissected like today, if it were multiple seamen, I doubt that would have been detected in the late 80s, early 90s.
They are minor atleast they should be accompany by parent or parents. They keep on saying those boys have the right to get a lawyer but they didn't give that right. They keep forcing and putting words into those boys mouth to confess. Just because they didn't do their job properly they find someone to blame? That is not right. We all want justice but find the right person to be punished not just because they are around that area, or they are black or they lack knowledge of justice. Shame on you people who are involved in forcing and pushing this kids to confess something that they didn't do.
I have a question... Where is this Lopez kid everyone keeps mentioning!?!? This is the biggest joke of an investigation I have ever seen!!!! I pray that we do better, this should have been a slam dunk case INNOCENT! Everyone involved should be apologizing to these men including our clown of a president! My heart breaks that not one person that had the power stood up and said no this isn’t right it doesn’t make sense... The only people I saw trying to say anything were these boys’ family and minorities even to this day.
Could some one please explain to me , I’m kind of confused. Why would all of the boys admit to doing something if they didn’t do it? I haven’t watched the Netflix show, and I’m just learn about this. They didn’t find any DNA matches, then why did these boys say they did it or something???
If you are along in a room with a bunch of cops screaming at you without your family there for a long period of time and they want let u go, and u aint had nothing to eat in a while. And they are saying this will be all over if u just confess. What would u say are do to go home and see your family?
Tbf trial by media still occurs today. Nd admittedly, it can be difficult to think independently when the media spins their rhetoric as facts. I’m guilty of this myself and I feel bad for it. For instance, how many people think Lori Vallow is innocent? Imagine if she was?( I don’t think she is btw lol) but what information do we all have asides from what we’ve read or watched online?
so why did they confess again with their parent at their side? anything about the character of these young men andnthe circumstances to refute the accusations . . .
Timothy Atkins watch “When they see us” on Netflix. The boys denied any involvement time and time again then the cops started to be aggressive towards them to get them to comply with the cops version of the story. Why some falsely confessed in front of their parents? Because some parents were threatened by cops and the kids were told that if they comply with the false confession they could go home. Both parents and children didn’t know their rights and it was used against them. It’s tough being black in America and unless you’re black you can’t relate.
The absence of blood on their clothing should have cleared them. How can Linda Fairstein say some of them were striking her in her head, yet they had no blood on them?
Juries need to stop believing that only guilty people confess. We've seen so many examples of false confessions.
That’s what I’m sayin! If I’m the defense I would hammer that point all the way home! Trisha Meili’s white shirt was drenched dark red! The only way those boys could rape her is if they levitated over her body and raped her supernaturally. What was alleged was physically impossible.
Also there was no DNA evidence either, not even under her nails from 'allegedly scratching one of them'.
Absolutely no physical evidence to tie any of the kids, to the assault.
The prosecution were corrupt , incompetent , hacks.
Those boys were "worked over" by those crooked scumbag cops, into giving false statements, and implicating. each other, and themselves.
They were not informed of their rights, deprived of water, food, sleep, threatened, physically assaulted, for hours, the cops and the prosecutors ,had no evidence, so they har to extort the false coerced confessions. from the innocent kids.

At the same time, it's been asserted that the police and investigators had them confess to a crime that they had absolutely nothing to do with. So the interrogators went as far as to have them admit to a rape they didn't commit but were unable to coerce out of them the exact location where the rape occurred? What kind of coercive interrogation leaves the confession tape full of statements that do not line up with the facts?
@@tahirab7859 This is what happened: They did exactly what they said they did to the jogger in the confession. Their DNA was not found because they were unable to have sex with her. After all, they weren't sociopaths like Reyes who had no problem with raping a stranger in the park. The ones who got on top of her, pretended to be hard and having sex with Meili so as not to look weak in front of their friends. Meanwhile, Matias Reyes, high on angel dust and crack was in the park and heard the woman screaming and the scuffle taking place between Trisha Meili and the Central Park Five. He ran over and the Central Park Five got alarmed and took off. After they left, Reyes found a piece of wood and hit her in the head. He then dragged her away to a more secluded place in the park and raped her. He then hit her numerous times with a large rock. He left her for dead and took off. In 2002, a gang in prison threatened to kill Reyes if he didn't confess to being the sole perpetrator of the crime against the jogger. I am absolutely sure this is what happened. It might not fit the narrative you been fed in documentaries, a mini-series or interviews with Oprah. Just please take a moment to consider the above scenario without being prejudice or defensive. The Central Park Five shouldn't be have been convicted of Meili's rape, but should have been charged and found guilty of attempted rape, sexual assault and assault, in addition to the other muggings and assaults they committed that night.
Ok so...
no evidence found matched the defendants
The DNA found at the crime scene didn’t match the defendants
They told the jury’s that they were brutally beaten bullied by The polices to say that they did it
They didn’t even know each other
All their story’s they were forced to tell didn’t match each other’s or what really happened
They even placed it in the wrong area of the park
Evidence said that there was only one attacker but charged 5 people for it
BUT THEY STILL WERE FOUND GUILTY... now I’m not a lawyer, judge or jury but how the hell is that possible
Google Murder on A Sunday Morning, Englewood 4, Dixmoor 5, Jeffrey Mark Deskovic, Ford Heights Four, The Career Girls Murders, George Whitmore, Jr, Harlem Six, Trenton Six, Brown v. Mississippi
and Norfolk 4 same story bias, criminal, unethical, lazy, corrupt and incompetent police, prosecutor, judge.
ThatBadGuy once again... use common high school education. I also come from a family of lawyers. So I have some knowledge that confessions are commonly false and coerced. The only valid parts of the confessions are when they actually match up with each other AND the facts. In this case, their confessions did not match up with simple facts such as location, clothes, and they didn’t even know each other to begin with.
ThatBadGuy I did watch all eleven videos. And it is not nonsense that I come from a family of lawyers because I can ask them about the justice system since they are closely involved with it. Whenever I ask about cases, I don’t say the specific case, but I ask a broader question that can be applied to the specific case and others. We also do not not what conversations went on before the taped confessions were made. Yes, their parents are there, but the parents did say that if they confessed they can go home. It can be inferred that this influenced the children and their parents’ willingness to help the police.
ThatBadGuy I have a correction to your statement. It was not a school night. Yes it was on a Wednesday, but they did not have school until the next Monday. It is also very likely that race was a factor in their convictions. You have to understand the time and state of New York in the late 80s and early 90s. Another major factor in their convictions was the magnitude of false and misleading media coverage. I have also taken a psychology class to understand how media can effect perceptions on people, especially in cases like this. I am using my education to make opinions, not a biased website that misleads and misinforms readers.
Thank you !!!!!!!
This makes me sick to my stomach
Hmu pretty
Why is Linda Fairstein in this report? That's incredibly offensive, she is completely responsible for the coerced confessions of the 5 CHILDREN who had their lives stolen from them. SHE SHOULD BE IN PRISON.
Billy Reynolds exactly my feelings . I don’t even think she deserves tht much
All the people responsible don’t appear to be remorseful nor have they faced any repercussions for their actions.
It sounds like they are still standing by their acts.
How was it coerced? When they all were correcting her in the actual confession.
“They put they’re best people on the case” yet y’all ruined these kids life
Those tapes are flash jackass
6:24 "the semen did not match any of the defendants." BRUHHHHHH I LAUGHED SO HARD LIKE bitttttttttttch how did y'all even get an arrest warrant??????????????
Because They Were Black Kids... Simple As That
This just makes my blood boil and I’m disgusted at how unjust this is.
The confessions. were coerced, the kids rights were violated.
Linda needs to apologize to this guys!!! She’s such a b...
linda unfairstein
It's ok you can call her a bitch
that and jail time
Veronica Jimenez an apology isn’t going to do anything.
“Lambs led to the slaughter” 💔
She knew it was one person. If it was a gang of boys she would’ve remembered that.
Those taped confessions were made after COUNTLESS HOURS of police coercing, tricking and practically threatening those boys to put themselves and the others into the story when they weren't even there. 18+ hours with no parents, no attorneys, no food - THEN they filmed the boys saying what they had been told they needed to say in order to go home - which also, never happened until after YEARS of incarceration. No one ever said that what happened to the jogger wasn't horrific - but THESE boys had nothing to do with it. Those cops and especially Linda Fairstein should be ASHAMED - and should maybe spend a few years in jail themselves for false imprisonment.
The evidence presented at trial didn't even match those "confessions". Incredibly sad.
@@yasmirpoitier5939 Agreed - their whole conviction was 'created'. Absolutely hideous :-(
42 hours of beating and cohersion and a fed story
@@hopejenkins8245 100% correct - disgusting and shameful . WHERE is the apology to all of these gentlemen?!
@@marynlytle9403 and with that at least Koery should've gotten that it turned every piece of empathy I had for the jogger into anger as well
The sad thing about this case is that the prosecutors and the police knew that they did not have a strong case other than the coerced confessions. They even had separate trials to make the pieces fit because they knew they would not get a conviction if they tried them all together due to all the inconsistencies.
Why was this female jogging so late at night with head phones on in central park? What females does this ?
I know right! It's was a dumb act and move.
I'm a night runner, usually after 9 pm. But I lived in a gated area or older area Virgina and now Arizona. But there's nothing that would make me run in Central Park like that.
Just finished watching it and god i was so pissed, frustrated and teary eyed. Those poor boys will never get that time back
I'm Soo Glad God kept 5 young men in his Right Hand...The truth came out...
Why didn't god stop them from being arrested in the first place? Was it so he could let the real culprit go on to rape again and again and eventually rape and murder pregnant woman in front her children. Your god is one fucked up piece of shit.
Why did the sketch artists drawn them like monsters
Because they are.
Because she was biased, you can tell from her segment
@ Jeremy what makes them monsters. The color of their skin?
@@Diva8204 The content of their character. How many lives they messed up that night in the park. It was really hard to listen to the violence those 37 teenagers did that night in the park. It was really disturbing and if you think it was the first time they did something like that, you are a gullible moron. You can't say that's teenagers being teenagers either. Most teenagers are not violent like these guys. There's something wrong with their DNA.
Jeremy Falkowski oh fuck off Jeremy
It's rarely for police to find a true guilty person
🤔 How does the jogger girl remember what she was wearing and what she was doing when she “doesn’t remember what happened that day”
BIG MARY i hate this bitch so much
Santana said "López" in his confession.... Who the hell is López? Where was he in the trial? Why wasn't this asked in the trial by the boys defense team? 🤨 Right there that should of created doubt in the confession tapes 😒
I believe Steve Lopez was one of the first 5 of the large group of 30 guys they caught on the night of the attack. His confession tape along with a couple other boys who weren't charged in the end are on UA-cam. I don't know the full details as to why Steve Lopez and the other guys didn't get charged like these boys did. Probably cos they couldn't pin enough on them, they must not have lied well enough to please the police. Although I know out of the 30-40 guys, some went to jail for the attacks unrelated to this jogger and I heard one guy refused to lie about being part of the rape so they had nothing to use against him.
1:03 if my lawyer showed up like that I'd feel lost too 😂💔
Yeah and smiling? Like what the F you so happy about
I thought you weren't supposed to be able to testify in court if you didn't remember what happened to you? This hole case is a rude awakening for United states of America & it still happening to us today😭😭
While I am appreciative ABC News covered this story, I am very disappointed and frankly find it problematic that they did not post the remaining two to three parts of this episode. Please consider posting the remaining parts of this episode so that there is no confusion or misinterpretation for viewers.
You are not suppose to hate, but I hate Fairstein for what shw did to those innocent children. Just plain evil
linda very unfairstein
Lederer was worse
I saw the documentary on this a couple years ago and it is one of the most unjust things I've seen in my lifetime. All 5 kids were persuaded to rat out the others so they can go home that night. What these kids said during their so-called confessions were all coerced and carefully written out by the DA.
Mismatched DNA?! FATHER!!! Lord Jesus Christ save us all. Help and save the true Hebrew Israelites forgive us of our sins in Deuteronomy 28 from verse 1 to end (king James version)
Its so disgusting how Linda still believe her lies. My gosh may GOD have mercy on her poor soul when she dies.
Notice how in the drawings all the black ppl look crazy
Poor boys
I thought this happened in 1989. Raymond's tape interview says 1988.
“ I know I didn’t remember anything but wanted people to see how I was left” smh then the juror basically saying he knew they didn’t have the right people smh . This whole case was a joke and these jurors knew it
Exactly !!!
Linda fairstein they were coerced into lying!!
What did his mother do to camouflage him in New York City?
Put him in disguise
I still dont understand how she dont remember but remember her routine and what she use to do...she just didnt give a care to straighten it up
I'm thinking about covering this on my channel now. This is my first time I've ever heard of this ordeal so I'd have to do extensive research beyond this first. I don't see many covering this story. No evidence on them at all... This is just... Wow! I wasn't even a year old yet when this occurred.
Lmao they release part 6 literally over a week later...? Why?
S R more like a month later 🙄
When someone defend such crime knowing that that criminals already confessed, it is one thing, they are Evil just like the Criminals.
Hell is going to be PACKED
May God bless you 5 and keep you all safe God bless you.
Was waiting for this! First!
One thing I'm also really curious about now is after the whole truth came out and the jogger knows it wasn't those 5 boys did she speak to them? Did they speak to her? She is still alive right? The link between the two...I don't get why she still testified without remembering anything, I'm all against rape too but hope she somehow also apologized to them, they lives were taken away at such a young age ... I'm just so happy Netflix made this movie because we would have never known just like that, it's now so simple to watch it anywhere and I'm glad they got to voice out what they went through! Seriously them police and Linda with Elizabeth bitch deserves to be punished!!! Im so mad, sad... Being black seriously is about surviving!
After watch many interviews of the men now... They said she doesn't want to talk to them.
She's a racist who doesn't care.
This is an interview she gave a year ago. At that time, she was not convinced they were innocent. www.nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-metro-central-park-jogger-interview-20180712-story.html?fbclid=IwAR0qw-1qz0nXWDEksLCMBdvv3ic1o4TBR0_UGAJdXnwAiji9OkCobiPgnKM
She thinks they did it and didn’t deserve the money.
The kid saying "he had a hand rock" is clearly a fabrication unless you link a pocket rock, bed rock, hat rock, they should not have been arrested
Dang that one juror who said you can’t make premature conclusions on emotions was aware....I do feel extremely sorry for what happened to Trisha, but If she didn’t have any recollection of what happened what was the point of her going up to the stand?
I already watched the show already but i just wanted to let this be known...Elizabeth (the jogger) she was Coerced just like the boys. They told that lady to lie and she did! Its so FREAKIN sad ppl like this are born on this earth! And the fact that she is trying to act innocent is DISGUSTING
Yes Harold!!!!!!
Sorry......but if she didn't even remember the assault!!?? It couldn't be traumatic!!! I'm a survivor......no memory!? Not so horrific for her!! The crime........very serious!!
Alsharpton hahahahaha hahahahaha.
They was little teenage boys and she was a grown ass women, how was she brave 😂
When Ray said shut up bitch it made me feel good I felt like he was talking to the lady taking the vid
Those confession tapes = guilty
For not to remember anything she remembered her closures, but she didn’t remember who rapped her,now don’t get me wrong I’m not saying tht she was faking it, yes I am cause how she remember what she was wearing, oh my bad cause she didn’t see who hit her,now look I have seizures right & wen I have one I don’t remember nothing at all, not even what I was wearing,shoot I call myself thinking about what I had on but I just don’t remember until a family member or my kids tell me everything cause they asked what I remember & they ask me about my clothes like what didn’t yu have on,& the last thing I will remember is I had on some pajama pants, & they will say nope yu had on some jeans, then they started sways asking me what I remember after I just had a seizure, I can’t answer their questions cause I didn’t remember💯
Omfg you idiot. . Go look up her injuries dipshit!
the Jury had black people in it ...did they also just want to bring these black kids down... ??
In my opinion...
No evidence
No conviction
Your opinion is right
About time ABC
We will never know why, but all of this had to happen and God was able to direct this and turn this around as we all know HE can. We may never see it or hear it, but trust and believe, EVERYONE who did wrong, covered up lies, told lies, manipulated, etc. will have to answer for their doings. EVERYONE, Linda, the cops, the jurors, Court Sketch Artist, Judge, the jogger and the list goes on. God sees everything and saw everything. No one can hide from God, and God cannot be mocked or deceived. I know we want justice, but believe me, the only we can possibly do at this time is pray for strength for the boys and pray for those that also influenced and inflicted harm, cause unless they repent and seek forgiveness, they’re already doomed. There’s NOTHING we can possibly do that God won’t do better. And I won’t wish that for anyone. It’s already handled. God bless and have faith. Righteous anger is okay but leave vengeance to the Lord, please and rest in His presence.
Where was Johnny Cochran ? 😔
Why were the interrogators, who were able to "manufacture" the confessions that Central Park 5 committed rape, but were unable to get them to change the exact location of where the attack occurred?
they admitted to holding her down and slapping her while someone else raped her. what is so hard to understand? they would have not admitted to anything if they had not been there, and they were there in the park, harassing others and from what they admitted aiding the rapist. accomplices.
3:49 Ruined me.
U can tell this is a staged confession lol. It’s great to believe ur own lies.
It’s funny she didn’t remember her attacking but she remembered what color her clothes were
sickening, how much coaching did she get to do this, no memory but lets display her to convict innocent kids... pfft
do any of those ppl involved with these kids being convicted know what the definition of coerced is ???
Did he just lie and say the prosecution was upfront with the jurors? Um, no you were NOT!! You didnt even tell the defense attorneys that you had semen in a sock that DIDN'T match any of them? Upfront my ass!! This whole thing was a lie, even the jogger not remembering. She remembered, just her memory didnt match the scenario your office created
Why is this lady in this video clearly stands by all of her actions, THAT WERE ALL EXTREMELY ILLEGAL. And she was disproven when all of those boyse convictions have been overturned. Whoever was incharge of this needs a serious reality check. This is so distasteful considering everything that has taken place due to HER ACTIONS. She saw 5 black and latino boys and decided to use her privilege in power to opress them. She shouldn't be given a platform. She shouldn't be regarded as one of the best in her field. She is a monster who shouldn't be able to do the things that she did. Absolutely disgusting
Thete has to be a God...Someone HAS to recompense those Cops and the Prosecution for this disgusting trial and conviction
So u had no memory of the attack and still testified against these innocent black boys.
Honestly Trisha should have been charged as well you are no longer than victim idc. she knew it was only one person aint no way she didn’t!
Lambs???lol
Fianlly
Lambs?Lambs?
These young men admitted what they did, some in front of their parents. How would you feel if your son admitted his participation. In those days, I doubt seamen could be dissected like today, if it were multiple seamen, I doubt that would have been detected in the late 80s, early 90s.
The victim she would just going by tape she just know that the police graph five boys
They are minor atleast they should be accompany by parent or parents. They keep on saying those boys have the right to get a lawyer but they didn't give that right. They keep forcing and putting words into those boys mouth to confess. Just because they didn't do their job properly they find someone to blame? That is not right. We all want justice but find the right person to be punished not just because they are around that area, or they are black or they lack knowledge of justice. Shame on you people who are involved in forcing and pushing this kids to confess something that they didn't do.
No DNA match how on earth could they held those guys
Exactly !!
I have a question... Where is this Lopez kid everyone keeps mentioning!?!? This is the biggest joke of an investigation I have ever seen!!!! I pray that we do better, this should have been a slam dunk case INNOCENT! Everyone involved should be apologizing to these men including our clown of a president! My heart breaks that not one person that had the power stood up and said no this isn’t right it doesn’t make sense... The only people I saw trying to say anything were these boys’ family and minorities even to this day.
But I hated that that happened to her but I believe The 5 boys this world haven't changed it still going on right today
The victim is a racist lie
She remembers everything pre and post the incident but the incident
Typical ain't it, nothing new, nothing changes
Look at AlSharpton trying to rock white hair. You can try all you want, but we still know you black.
1:27 3:25
Could some one please explain to me , I’m kind of confused. Why would all of the boys admit to doing something if they didn’t do it? I haven’t watched the Netflix show, and I’m just learn about this. They didn’t find any DNA matches, then why did these boys say they did it or something???
Younique83 ....this is part 6....u need to start watching from part 1 to understand the whole story 🤷🏿♂️
If you are along in a room with a bunch of cops screaming at you without your family there for a long period of time and they want let u go, and u aint had nothing to eat in a while. And they are saying this will be all over if u just confess. What would u say are do to go home and see your family?
Gator Woman i
Understand now. I only heard a portion of the story.
Wow
Can't believe mom says the boys were "lambs led to slaughter". Bullshit! Those other boys were JUST as guilty by HOLDING HER DOWN! Wtf?
Them prosecutors are scum.
Tbf trial by media still occurs today. Nd admittedly, it can be difficult to think independently when the media spins their rhetoric as facts.
I’m guilty of this myself and I feel bad for it. For instance, how many people think Lori Vallow is innocent? Imagine if she was?( I don’t think she is btw lol) but what information do we all have asides from what we’ve read or watched online?
so why did they confess again with their parent at their side? anything about the character of these young men andnthe circumstances to refute the accusations . . .
Timothy Atkins watch “When they see us” on Netflix. The boys denied any involvement time and time again then the cops started to be aggressive towards them to get them to comply with the cops version of the story. Why some falsely confessed in front of their parents? Because some parents were threatened by cops and the kids were told that if they comply with the false confession they could go home. Both parents and children didn’t know their rights and it was used against them. It’s tough being black in America and unless you’re black you can’t relate.
yes they all.confessed to being there and participating in crimes against her . . .
Those where false
Cases like this is not about RACE was about JUSTICE! What if it happens to you or to whom you love, sister or daughter...hey
Lambs led to the slaughter.. bullshit. They ain’t no damn lambs
Trisha Meili does not deserve one ounce of sympathy.
