Fron what I’ve read, it’s as accurate historically as Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.
Pretty much everyone involved with the case, including the victim, disagree with the fiction in the Netflix series, except those who benefit from those criminals being released.
CNN videos never work for me on their website.
So, here’s the interview on YouTube:

THE WILDING OF LINDA FAIRSTEIN (June 12, 2019):
The African folktale version of the 1989 Central Park gang-rape has swept the populace! The mob thirsts for vengeance against evil spirits, like Linda Fairstein.
In the past week, Fairstein, the head of the sex crimes unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's office during the trials of the accused rapists, has been exiled from society, like an albino chased from the village at the instigation of witch doctors. In a matter of days, she's been forced off of a half-dozen corporate boards, dropped by her publisher and dumped by her talent agency …
Even CNN couldn’t cover up a lie this big.
There is a not insignificant portion of this nation that is psychotic & delusional when it comes to matters of culture.
The bridge between us vs them is worse than it was even in the civil war IMO...I see no sane & rational way out of this.
Does a chicken have lips?
No. Next question.
I saw the ad for it on Netflix and I don’t know why, I just had a feeling it would not an accurate account of the true story. Perhaps, seeing the year it was made, was my clue.
Save for later
They were guilty as sin. Their exoneration by the corrupt Morgenthau was one of the worst travesties of justice.
I quit Netflix because of their position. All you have to do is look at the General Line up of Movies and Series there. Most cast women (one or more) (White Males are now marginalized) with a non white Male etc etc all embrace the current Hollywood perception of what America is or should be. I believe it is a furtherance of their sex in every movie; Weinstein type of Hollywood ethics, morals etc.; and unwarranted or substantiated political comments.
My perception is White males are not proportionately represented in the "Flix", based their percentage of the Community, as other groups have demanded and exceeded, regardless of requirements, ability, etc. Now one group remains at 13.5 percent of the population but are now over represented IMHO. Dropped Netflix and opted for Hulu isn't much better but that is what I took and am also using some apps like CINEMA HD and KODI
Another reason I switched is the relatively small number of presentations made in the USA. Many are made in Turkey etc. At least that is my personal take and opinion of the situation.
