In this episode, Amanda and Kristen will be discussing the case of the Central Park five. On April 19th, 1989, a woman named Trisha Meili was severely beaten, raped and sodomized until she was within inches of her life.
The attack and rape shocked the city and became one of the most publicized cases of the 1980s. Five Black and Hispanic boys from Harlem's names were plastered and slandered across every newspaper, and they were soon after charged and convicted of the crime. However, 13 years after the attack, the boys' convictions were overturned, when the perpetrator came forward and confessed. These boys, who are now men, became known as the Central Park 5 or the exonerated 5.
