Ex-NYC Prosecutor Blasts 'Netflix's False Story' on Central Park Five

In an op-ed from Tuesday's Wall Street Journal, former New York City prosecutor Linda Fairstein responded to the recent Netflix series on the Central Park Five, and accused its producer, Ava DuVernay, of fabricating words attributed to her character, played by Felicity Huffman, to portray her as a racist who was determined to convict the teens in the face of an alleged lack of evidence against them.

Fairstein began the article, titled "Netflix's False Story of the Central Park Five," by declaring that the series, When They See Us, is "so full of distortions and falsehoods as to be an outright fabrication," and complained that it is "an utterly false narrative involving an evil mastermind (me) and the falsely accused (the five)."

She added that it "attempts to portray me as an overzealous prosecutor and a bigot, the police as incompetent or worse, and the five suspects innocent of all charges against them. None of this is true."

When you are married to a black lesbian, you will always side with the blacks. The mayor is a flawed man and a good example of the putrid state of politics in NYC!

Don’t forget the Kenyon and his Husband are big wigs now at Netflix. No doubt they have their slimy hands in this production.

They probably just draw a YUGE check for name recognition. Neither one are that bright.

“Malcolm X”, “Selma”, “The Hurricane”, to name but a few of the TOO MANY one-sided, anti-White propaganda / sewage from the “racist” Hollywood,and now this. So....when - if EVER - do we get a film that contains ALL the facts, especially ,one sympathetic with all the WHITE VICTIMS, and asking where are all the other Black attackers that got away that night?????

And , no surprise, Blacks want her head on a platter, like the savage, unbalanced, racists that they really are.

Where are the accusations of “anti-Semitism”?
