slashed her lip before he and Prescott shoved the woman into an air shaft, authorities said. There she lay, half naked, moaning and crying for help until a neighbor heard her.
His confession exonerated the Central Park Five, as seen in Netflix's When They See Us.
in their holding cells, the teens launched into a raucous rendition of Tone Loc's sexually charged hip-hop anthem, 'Wild Thing'. It was this phrase, misheard by a police reporter as 'wilding', which is the genesis of the now-infamous verb.
The last of six teenagers charged in the near-fatal rape and assault of the woman known as the Central Park jogger was sentenced yesterday to 1 1/2 to 4 1/2 years as part of a plea bargain. Steven Lopez, 17, pleaded guilty to robbery in the mugging of a male jogger. Charges in the woman's attack were dropped.
Of the three hundred and eleven people exonerated through post-conviction DNA testing, more than a quarter had given false confessions—including those convicted in such notorious cases as the Central Park Five.
The lawyer-turned-New York Times bestselling author said she agreed with exonerations of the rape charges against the five — but said 'the other charges, for crimes against other victims, should not have been vacated.'
Thirteen years after an investment banker jogging in Central Park was savagely beaten, raped and left for dead, a Manhattan judge threw out the convictions yesterday of the five young men who had confessed to attacking the woman on a night of violence that stunned the city and the nation. In one final, extraordinary ruling that took about five minutes, Justice Charles J. Tejada of State Supreme Court in Manhattan granted recent motions made by defense lawyers and Robert M. Morgenthau, the Manhattan District Attorney, to vacate all convictions against the young men in connection with the jogger attack and a spree of robberies and assaults in the park that night.
The second tenet of the new system, which will affect most state courts, is that the assignment of the cases is to be at random, in order to discourage what judges and lawyers refer to as judge shopping – in which lawyers maneuver, through pleas and other tactics, to get the judges they believe will be most sympathetic to their cases.
A panel commissioned by the New York City Police Department concluded yesterday that there was no misconduct in the 1989 investigation of the Central Park jogger case, and said that five Harlem men whose convictions were thrown out by a judge last month had most likely participated in the beating and rape of the jogger. The panel also disputed the claim of Matias Reyes, a convicted killer and serial rapist, that he alone had raped the jogger. It was his confession last year that led to a sweeping re-examination of the infamous case by prosecutors, and to a reversal of all the original convictions against the five defendants.
The woman told investigators that she was approached by three men, who forced her onto the building's roof, raped and sodomized her and threw her off the roof
Every now and again, we get a look, usually no more than a glimpse, at how the justice system works. What we see before the sanitizing curtain is drawn abruptly down is a process full of human fallibility and error, sometimes noble, more often unfair, rarely evil but frequently unequal, and through it all inevitably influenced by issues of race and class and economic status. In short, it's a lot like other big, unwieldy institutions. Such a moment of clear sight emerges from the mess we know as the case of the Central Park jogger.

Mr. Reyes's confession, DNA match and claim that he acted alone required that the rape charges against the five be vacated. I agreed with that decision, and still do. But the other charges, for crimes against other victims, should not have been vacated. Nothing Mr. Reyes said exonerated these five of those attacks. And there was certainly more than enough evidence to support those convictions of first-degree assault, robbery, riot and other charges.
