In the first episode of the Netflix series When They See Us, members of the New York City Police Department lie to five teenagers as they’re interrogated about the brutal rape of a jogger in Central Park. The scenes are painful to watch as the young actors portray the pain and desperation of hour after hour of deceptive interrogation. Their parents, determined to get their children out of the police station and back home, plea with them to say whatever the cops want to hear.
The teenagers, who became known in the press as the Central Park Five, didn’t know each other before they got to the police station, and the cops played them off one another. They told 14-year-old Raymond Santana they had evidence against 15-year-old Kevin Richardson, and if he just helped them build a case against Richardson by placing himself into the crime scene, he’d get to go home. They made the boys believe they were acting merely as witnesses to a crime.
In the end, four of the five boys falsely confessed. And even though no DNA linked them to the scene of the crime, and their descriptions of the victim's clothing and injuries didn't match the crime scene, they were convicted. In 2002, after prison sentences that ranged from six to 13 years, they were all released when a murderer and serial rapist confessed to the assault—and his DNA matched with that found on the jogger.
There should be classes in every school that teach students and their parents how to respond to police when being questioned anywhere at any time. DON'T TALK to them, at all. Claim the 5th and ask for an attorney. Don't believe anything they tell you, they lie.
Finally some feelgood tv.
About a true story. Right? Sad !Wow TV actors doing…acting.
Nah, that has a sad end, mankind survives.

I'm still in wonder that he could be elected POTUS.
In one of the most moving moments of the 2019 Emmys, Jharrel Jerome paid tribute to the "exonerated five" as he accepted the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series for his role in the Netflix drama "When They See Us."
Written and directed by Ava DuVernay, the four-part drama tells the true story of the Central Park Five -- Korey Wise, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson and Yusef Salaam -- who were pressured into falsely confessing to the brutal attack and rape of Trisha Meili in 1989.
