Trump was asked today if he would apologize for his infamous 1989 full page ad and subsequent media appearances calling for the use of the death penalty on the Central Park 5, a group of teenagers that were found guilty of the rape of a jogger but later were exonerated after years in prison.
The case has been in the news recently with the release of the new Netflix documentary series highlighting it.
The teenagers confessed at the time to being present for crime (and some saying they held the victim down), though their stories all varied and did not match how, where, or when the rape occurred. They would all go on to quickly retract their confessions. They claimed they were intimidated by the cops into confessing. All maintained their innocence while in prison, preventing their chances of early release.
The perpetrator, while serving a life sentence, admitted to the crime a decade later, providing evidence of details and matching the DNA found on the victim. The authorities also confirmed that the victim had been bound in the same fashion that Reyes had bound another victim in a crime he was convicted of 2 days earlier in the same place.
Despite this, or perhaps completely ignorant of all of this, Trump maintains their guilt.
Quote:“Why do you bring that up now? It’s an interesting time to bring that up. You have people on both sides of that. They admitted their guilt . . . some of the prosecutors think the city should never have settled that case and we’ll leave it at that.”
