Central Park Five

documentary

The deeply troubling story of the rape and near-murder of a white female jogger in 1989 and the railroading of five minority teenagers who were in the park that night doing nasty things but not to her. The NYPD and DA were desperate for perps so they browbeat and tricked these kids into making confessions that eventually proved to be false...but only after they had served years in prison.

Even after the real culprit was found and his guilt confirmed by forensics the cops and DA refused to admit their mistake.

Another tour through the "justice" system.
