"Central Park 5" Thugs Make Out Like the Bandits They Really Are
When the redoubtable Donald Trump condemned last week's $40 million settlement with the "Central Park 5" in a Daily News op-ed on Saturday as a "disgrace" he was engaging in what was, for him, unusually kindhearted rhetoric.
Forget disgraceful. In fact, New York City's Mayor Bill DeBlasio's multi-million dollar deal with the five black and Latino thugs who confessed to and were convicted of the 1989 rape and bludgeoning of 28-year-old Trisha Ellen Meili in Central Park was nothing short of a total debasement of municipal morality and as such qualifies more as civic infamy than a mere disgrace.
Antron McCray, Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Yusuf Salaa, and Raymond Santana were all in their teens in 1989 when they were caught and accused of the horrendous crime against Ms. Meili, "the Central Park Jogger."
When serial rapist and murderer Matias Reyes, then serving a long overdue and well-deserved life sentence, fessed up to the attack in 2002, "The 5" reiterated their old claims of police coercion for their separate confessions and, after some had served as many as 13 years in prison, they were released and almost immediately filed a lawsuit against the NYPD, the City of New York, and everyone else their lawyers could think of. . . .
