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.

Why would anyone think DJT would ever admit to being wrong about anything?

His argument is/was that these men must be guilty of "something".

He's a joke, a fool and a moron.

This wasn't just a case of Trump complaining about the judicial system but about these specific men.
