[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have watched the documentary on amazon last year and honestly this was one of the cases that most impacted me emotionally.  I started watching the series yesterday and I almost couldn’t finish the first episode.  I told my husband that I will not watch it until my summer classes are over.  I went to bed crying and took me a long time to fall asleep.  Somehow, I think if you watched the Ken Burns’ doc, this Netflix series is even harder to swallow.  Those actors are doing a great job and I hope they get recognized for it. [/quote]

+1. Those poor kids. Years in jail because an overzealous prosecutor decided someone needed to be punished, irrespective of whether they actually did it.  Thank god the real rapist came forward and for dna testing advancements or they’d still be rotting in jail now.[/quote]

What’s crazy is that they had the DNA then! And it didn’t match any of the boys. But they plowed right ahead full steam anyway because they knew they were dealing with unsophisticated families who could easily be railroaded.

What’s worse is that the actual culprit went on to rape and even kill more people-one a pregnant women whose 2 children were in the next room!

They also had a chance to get him a day or 2 before the Central Park case when a woman who got away described him as having fresh stitches. An officer found out it was Reyes but that situation fell through. They bungled that case so badly.

They should’ve never moved forward with the case with no matching prints, DNA or other physical evidence. All they had were conflicting “confessions” that made absolutely no sense and didn’t fit the facts of the case.[/quote]
