It is not as if the proof is not in the pudding.

It is not as if DNA was linked to the crime.

It is not as if the City of New York has not compensated (as if there is a dollar amount that can make up for what they did) the young men for the trifling miscarriage of justice perpetrated against them.

And yet the President of The United States continues to stand firm on his call to kill five innocent teenagers, unlawfully detained, bamboozled in the 1989 Central Park Rape case and wrongfully convicted. 30 years later, the POTUS says that they “admitted their guilt.” Not budging in the least, even after they were exonerated in 2002, after another man confessed and DNA matched. The boys served 5 – 13 years.

On Tuesday, Trump was asked by a reporter if he would apologize for calling for the death penalty for the five young men after they have been exonerated and he said:

“Why do you bring this up now? That is an interesting time to bring it up. You have people on both sides of that. They admitted to their guilt. If you look at Linda Fairstein and you look at some of the prosecutors, they think that The City should have never settled that case. So we will leave it at that.”
