Kevin Richardson, from the exonerated Central Park Five, to speak at VCU By Matthew Lovisa Division of Student Affairs 804-828-1424 mlovisa@vcu.edu By Meghan Zapiec Activities Programming Board (804) 828-4005 mzapiec@vcu.edu Monday, Oct. 21, 2019
Kevin Richardson, a member of the exonerated Central Park Five, will speak at Virginia Commonwealth University on Oct. 22.
The event, When They See Me, will take place at 7 p.m. in the Commonwealth Ballroom of the University Student Commons, 907 Floyd Ave. Richardsons talk is sponsored by VCUs Activities Programming Board.
The event is sold out. Media are invited to attend and may RSVP by contacting Meghan Zapiec or Matthew Lovisa in the Division of Student Affairs.
Richardson was one of five black and Latino teenagers wrongly convicted of raping a white woman in New York Citys Central Park in 1989. The convictions were vacated in 2002. The five men are the subject of a Netflix series, When They See Us, that premiered in May.
It promises to be a truly ebonic experience for all.
The evidence I have seen in prior articles points to guilt, at least for some of the scum, not exoneration.
I thought they were exonerated on a technicality that was like OJ’s ‘didn’t do it’ — but cannot verify.
I was just walking through central park that night with my chemistry homework, hoping to get home in time to cook my mother some soup and help out at the church. When all of a sudden...
Not exonerated. Read Ann Coulter on the topic.
You are right.
They knew things before the police did and one confessed to the sister of another.
They were never exonerated. They never claimed or were accused of actual rape. They were accused of holding her down and sexually assaulting her. That they never found DNA doesn’t exonerate them.
The activists have completely revised history. This man is an assailant. He is a scumbag.
This link has bad language but he takes hours and goes over everything:

If the legal proceedings in this case qualify as “exoneration,” then the Mueller Report emphatically and irrefutably exonerated President Trump. If that’s not the case, then none of these “wilders” have been “exonerated,” either: “Not guilty,” by definition, is semantically distinct from “innocent.”
Some folks did something. They practically killed her, as I remember.
One was picked up during a sweep outside of the rape. He had a scratch across his face when a cop asked him how he got it. The boy tried to lie and state a cop hit him in the face with his helmet. The cop then asked the other cop with a helmet to which he says that’s a lie. Knowing the teen lied to them they did damn fine police work and needles him on how he got the scratch. The teen then broke down and admitted the jogger scratched him. The cops didn’t even bring her up till he confessed.
The boys were all brought in as each rolled on the other. They weren’t grilled. The boys were young enough to not know that rolling won’t help so they each kept implicating the other. Eventually the teens told cops the entire story with nothing being told to them. They weren’t starved or denied drink. They were allowed to speak and they gave up the story.
One of the teens admitted he tried to rape her but he couldn’t get himself up to the act. So of course his DNA wasn’t there.
These men all took part in this brutal act and “When They See Us” literally rewrote the facts of the case that were undeniable to create a fictitious story to defend these criminals.
The semen found on the victim did not match any of these five, but they were part of the wilding group in the park, and they may indeed have been there when she was raped and the murder was attempted.
Another Wilding Thugger. Should be in prison.
And this wasn’t the only incident.
Exactly, I haven’t seen any exoneration of them.
