Remember The Central Park Five?
Five Black and Latino teenagers—Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray (Brown), and Korey Wise—were wrongfully convicted.
Trump took out full-page newspaper ads calling for the return of the death penalty and expressing hostility toward the teenage suspects.
Their convictions were vacated in 2002 after DNA testing and the confession of serial rapist Matias Reyes proved they were innocent.
New York City paid the men a $41 million settlement in 2014. Trump has repeatedly refused to apologize, maintaining his stance even after their exoneration.
Now he wants to interfere in the case of the Cornell Seven.
When has the guy ever been right? In retrospect, the city needs to sue him for the Central Park verdict.
