These guys are guilty as sin, they admitted the rape to cops and bragged about it to their friends but liberals felt sorry for them....oh boo hoo hooo...so they took the word of ONE convict sitting in prison who said he did the rape not them.

And the fact that DNA test proved it was the ONE convict sitting in prison means nothing?

Having said that, these guys were railroaded but I also think they received a fair settlement for what happened to them. A settlement that they agreed to. Another $50 million is overkill and I'm sure is due in no small part to some lawyer looking for a payday.

The crime happened in 1989 when they didn't have the tech or the focus they have today on specifically collecting DNA samples, plus Reyes told an inmate he raped the woman after the 5 finished with her which right there could have destroyed whatever semen they left behind IF they even left semen! They seemed more focused on beating her to death than actually having sex. Plus she was beaten so brutally she lost an eye which these "innocent 5" where doing to other people in the park, beating them. You should read Ann Coulters column.

DNA wasn't the evidence that convicted the "Central Park Five." It's hard to believe now, but in 1989 DNA was rarely used to convict anyone, so it wouldn't have been carefully collected by police investigators. DNA identifications had only been invented a few years earlier and were not even permitted in New York courts until six months before the Central Park wilding.

All those charged with the jogger's rape gave detailed, corroborated, videotaped confessions, after full Miranda warnings, four of the five in the presence of an adult relative.

This is newly minted millionaire Antron McCrays confession. Does this sound like someone who is innocent to you?

"Everybody started hitting her and stuff. She was on the ground, everybody stompin' and everything. ... I grabbed one arm, some other kid grabbed one arm and we grabbed her legs and stuff. Then we all took turns getting on her, getting on top of her. ... I just like, my penis wasn't in her. I didn't do nothing to her ... I was just doing it so everybody ... Everybody would just like, would know I did it."

WHAT YOU WON'T READ IN THE PAPERS ABOUT THE 'CENTRAL PARK FIVE'
