Good, detailed analytical article.

too bad it will not be read by the racists supporting the democrat-socialist party. In the news media and elsewhere in DC, NYC, LA, and internationally.

These dirtballs are well on their way to becoming the 21st century version of Sacco and Vanzetti (with the exception of the ultimate disposition of their cases - and lives - of course).

The 3 biggest lies:

1. The check is in the mail.

2. I'll call you in the morning.

3. I promise not to ...in your mouth.

Lol.

This case might have been the only one to reach national news but it is far from the only wilding going on in NYC in the 80’s.

Very interesting read, but I still don’t get, with the horrific description of the attack, that no DNA of the CPA5 was found at the scene. How could there not be on their clothes, the victim’s fingernails?

I’m not saying they aren’t guilty of other stuff, but it seems unlikely that no DNA.

DNA testing was at its infancy stage way back then (1989).

As Ann Coulter, who followed the case closely observed:

The use of DNA to solve crimes was nearly unheard of in 1989. No police force in the country would look for DNA to make a case. It was only about a year earlier that DNA had been used for the first time in any criminal court in the U.S. (Florida).

The very month that the jogger was attacked, newspapers were excitedly reporting on a novel forensic technique, a “still unfolding laboratory discovery, a genetic ‘fingerprint’ created from the body’s deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA”—as the Chicago Tribune put it.

Even five years later, DNA evidence wasn’t enough to convict O.J. Simpson.

Another stinker is going to be Showtime’s “The Loudest voice” coming out in July. I had to dig into the Amazon book reviews of the source material to figure out the is a hit job on Ailes, and thus on anyone who rejects the MSM narrative.

Ah, “wilding” - I remember it well. They beat the girl unconscious, then raped her, and she was permanently impaired.

But, hey, a good lawyer and a little reverse racism got them all off.

Her fingernails? They hit her with a pipe and and a rock. Do you think you would be able to scratch and claw after getting hit in the head with a pipe and a rock?

Re: “Her fingernails? They hit her with a pipe and and a rock. Do you think you would be able to scratch and claw after getting hit in the head with a pipe and a rock?”

From the Part #1 of the account, several paragraphs down:

“. . . the presence of semen, blood, and hair on all of the suspects; a scratch on Kevin Richardson’s neck that, in the company of his father, he admitted he received by Meili;”

Again, I don’t doubt these guys were involved, I’m just surprised that no DNA from them was found if she scratched him.

You’re probably correct. It just seems with all the blood, semen, scratches, clothes, etc. that only DNA of the one guy was found. I’m not saying these guys are innocent, I’m just saying it is kind of a hmmmm.

It is unlikely that they thought to collect it, at that time there would seem to be no use for samples from all over the body, just from the intimate areas.
