[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got through the second episode and hav a question about the assaults committed against the two other people in the park that night. Clearly the 5 teens were coerced into false confession about the rape but wasn't the trial also about two other assaults. I believe they were pretty serious and folks were beaten into unconsciousness.   Were those also vacated?  Or is this clarified in later episodes.  I believe these guys were framed but I also believe they did participate in the other assaults that went down that night in central park.  Is that ever addressed?  The prosecutor was nuts but we need to talk about more than just the rape that happened.[/quote]

Why? Bc they were there? There is no proof they assaulted anyone. There were 30 kids in the park. No one know who assaulted the other victims. You’re doing exactly what the NY police department wanted the world to do. Believe these 5 boys were guilty of at least something without any actual proof. [/quote]

In the park with the intent to cause harm.[/quote]

It is very possible to be in the park simply to hang out on a non-school night when you're a teen. It's NY. That city still doesn't sleep 30 years later. When you're young with no money, you hang out at the park with friends. In other places the thing to do is to hang out in the mall.

They had no idea a crazy crime spree would take place that night. That's why the jogger felt safe running through the park alone, while listening to music-completely unaware of her surroundings. It didn't seem to be a hotbed of crime.

I don't believe for one minute that every single person in the park that night was out looking for trouble. There were joggers, bikers and I'm sure equally innocent teens just wanting to be out of their cramped NYC apartments.[/quote]
