The persuasive physical evidence against the five teens had apparently been misinterpreted. The physical evidence --- according to this account --- better fit the details provided by the man who ultimately confessed.

[Boogieman]

“The persuasive physical evidence against the five teens had apparently been misinterpreted.”

The CP 5 didn’t accidentally get the victim’s blood and hair on themselves. They didn’t confess without prompting to a crime they had no knowledge of. Reyes didn’t rape her and hold her down with multiple pairs of hands, while he was acting alone.

Just because DNA shows now that Reyes also raped the victim, does not mean that the CP 5 suddenly became innocent.
