Just watched “The Central Park Five”, a documentary film about the Central Park Jogger case, directed by Ken Burns, Sarah Burns, and David McMahon. <\/strong>After premiering at Cannes last year, it was released in the US on November 23, 2012. I remember the trial but I barely heard about their innocence.<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana and Kharey Wise \u2014 the Central Park Five \u2014 were all convicted and served prison sentences ranging from six to 13 years.<\/p>\n

But in 2002, a serial rapist and murderer named Matias Reyes confessed he alone had raped the jogger \u2014 and DNA evidence backed him up.<\/p>\n

They were definitely up to no good that night. They had been part of a larger group that had thrown rocks at cars, beaten up a male jogger and accosted a homeless alcoholic in the park that night.<\/p>\n

But they had not raped the Central Park jogger. Learn to stay away from trouble because trouble just might find you! They lost their entire young adult lives.<\/p>\n
