this guy has a serious head injury. he's losing a lot of blood here. >> people were punched in the face and pulled off their bicycles and robbed of their watches. i mean, it was kind of a crazy series of incidents that took place in the park. >> the calls kept coming in, so we canvassed the area. we pulled out of the park at, i think, 100th street and central park west. and, boom, there they are. there's a group of about 20 or 30 of them. once we came out of the park here, we saw them across the street. so, what we did was we pulled over right over here at the curb. >> everybody just started running. >> they're chasing a large group over there, about 30 to 40 people. >> there's a big foot chase. a couple of cars come, scooters. when it was all said and done, we had five kids.

jogger was found unconscious and bleeding by two men passing by at about 2:00 this morning. we're told she was taken to metropolitan hospital where she's being treated for a fractured skull and a serious loss of blood. >> a young woman had been brought in who was pretty close to death. she had blunt trauma. they didn't know if she would survive. she looked like a little waif in the bed. no one knew who she was yet. >> i will never forget that day. i have seen traumatized patients many, many times. but i have never seen somebody, like, destroyed. >> this is the cheekbone, and this was crushed severely. her body was just so swollen, unrecognizable really. >> my left eye socket had been crushed in.

and the force of that blow was so strong that my eyeball exploded into the thin plates of my orbital floor. >> and when entire chee falls inward. >> and then i had several skull i mean, everybody knows what at is and describe it. but there's nothing like seeing something like this. the atrocity of such an act. >> this morning, detectives walked through the woods picking up evidence from a jogger's night of terror. >> we ended up with five arrests. two of the five were kevin richardson and raymond santana. >> the detectives who were handling it asked me to hang on to them so that they could interview them. >> i heard the phone ringing. and that's when the detective told me to come to the precinct to get my son. i went to the desk, and i asked

them, i said, "where's my son?" and he said, "well, we're doing some paperwork, and you can see him shortly." >> they came to my house around 3:00 the morning. and when we got there, i seen my son inside a room with other kids locked in a room. >> we had to go back out and start getting more of the kids that were involved in the attack. that included yusef salaam, korey wise and antron mccray. but by the evening of the 20th, we had all five in custody. >> i'm looking for my son. >> yeah. where was he? >> he's been in the precinct since they took him from when he went to the store. >> i was out here with a whole bunch of other reporters and s, and information. because in those early hours, there was an investigation going on behind closed doors. there was intense pressure to solve the case. this was the crime that had to

be solved. >> over the course of the next couple of days, there are these interrogations at length. >> here we are at the 20th precinct on the upper west side of manhattan where police are still questioning some of the young suspects they believe were involved in last night's attack. >> those who are 14 and 15 are supposed to have a parent or guardian present. and largely they do, but then even the parents, i think, are pretty naive about what's going on. >> they were telling us that kevin is gonna come home with us, that he's a good boy. they know he didn't do anything. >> they used us. they used our lack of knowledge of the justice system against us. and -- and our trusting in them, they used it against us. >> we had all these kids now in custody, and they were all starting to talk and give stories about what happened. >> the cops are doing what cops do, which is, in these investigations, they can lie,

they can say they know more than they do, they can say they've got evidence that implicates a suspect trying to get him to confess. they did all of those things. >> so, these interrogations, they're not recorded in any way, right? they're not even written down. >> these are not my rules. these are the rules i was handed and that's what we play by. >> i really didn't know what -- my mouth just felt like scrambled eggs. i really didn't know what was going on. i just wanted to get the hell home. >> when i was in the room, i didn't know what was going on. i just know that i didn't have nothing to do with anything. >> the lead investigator in my case, he became fed up and he slammed his fist on the table you going to give me what i want? and he lunged at me. >> if you take an individual that's 15 years old and you put that individual in a room by themselves with two to four to six officers, some of them wanting to attack you, that individual would be terrified.

it could be almost tantamount to someone having a gun to your head. >> the cops were proud that they did what cops do, which is they told teen one that number two and number three were implicating one. so you better get out ahead of this. they told teen four that there was evidence that had been found, and if you don't get out in front, you're gonna be implicated. >> i didn't know who did it. i just knew i didn't do it, so i was just trying to get even back, i was just blaming whoever. that's how it went. that's how it went for me. >> he's like, "well, do you know kevin richardson?" i said, "no, i don't. never seen him before." and he says, well, we know he did it. and so when detective hartigan produced the picture of kevin, it was just about me getting out of it. >> all of these kids, and in many cases their parents, believed that they would get to go home if they implicated other people, if they were helpful in

the right way. and they were desperate to get out of that room. >> no detective of mine would ever say anything like that. you're going to go home. r. >> they played the parents against each other. they said, okay, well, we know he didn't do anything. but yusef salaam said he did this. so then you feel like, "well, okay, he has to defend himself." so they played us against each other. they played the boys against each other. and they made up all of these stories to get their arrest and their convictions. >> how do you coerce somebody when he's sitting there with his parents? it's [ bleep ] okay? there's no coercion. >> none of those detectives of their caliber would have to resort to walking anyone into a confession. their words are their words. we don't put words in people's mouths. >> this interrogation went on and on and on.

whether or not you believe there were coercive tactics, the amount of time itself that these teens had to spend in that interrogation room could in and of itself have caused them to say anything to get them out of there. >> it is now 3:30 in the morning on the morning of april 21st of 1989. >> in the early hours of the morning on the second day, under questioning, the teenagers make a fateful decision. they decide to start talking on videotape. >> this is my first rape. i never did this before. this will be my last time doing it. >> that decision would haunt them all the way to the courthouse. on...

i was home in bed with my wife. we had just turned the lights out, and my deputy bureau chief called and asked if i could go up to the 24th precinct and assist elizabeth lederer, who was up there working alongside the police. >> elizabeth lederer was the prosecutor in the central park jogger case. by all accounts, she was incredibly diligent.

she was not one of these prosecutors who were just in it to win. >> you have the right to remain silent and to refuse to answer any questions. >> so, at this point, after a night in police custody, moved from precinct to precinct, kevin richardson implicated himself in this night of mayhem with numerous assaults and possibly the rape of trisha meili. >> everybody was surrounding her when i came over there. >> kevin richardson had a scratch under his eye. so, the detectives asked him, "how did you get the scratch under your eye?" >> i got in the way. she kind of, like, scratched me a little bit. >> let me just ask you, you're saying that she scratched you and you're indicating a place on your face? >> yeah, i think it's somewhere right here. >> and it's not just richardson. other teenagers are implicating themselves on video, too. >> i started hitting her and stuff, and she's on the ground. everybody's stomping and everything. >> this was my first rape. i never did this before.

this going to be my last time doing it. >> antron was going for her clothes, and lopez was pulling on her arms. >> and while he was doing that, you were feeling her breasts? with both hands? >> mm-hmm. >> this is your father next to you? >> yes. >> they're all making statements and open confessions in front of their parents. >> all of them except yusef salaam. and the reason is because his mother comes in and says, no. >> i kept telling them, i wanted a lawyer. i told them several times. i had witnesses who heard me tell them. and they continued to do what they planned to do because they had an agenda. >> was yusef there? >> yusef? yes. >> when i first saw those tapes, i didn't disbelieve them. like anybody else, when i watch a confession tape my first impulse is, "whoa, an innocent person really wouldn't do that." >> but you told that to the police before. was it true?

>> i don't remember saying that. >> my second impulse is to listen to the cts.edy them.>> we seen this la. trisha meili that night was wearing tights on her legs. >> she was jogging around the thing around the reservoir. >> she wasn't jogging at the reservoir, which is more than half a mile away from where she was found. >> it was kevin richardson who said -- volunteered, "this is where i tackled the woman, the jogger. right about here." i said, "well, how did her b get from here down to the ravine? who took her down to the ravine?" he said, "i don't know." i said, "what do you mean you don't know?" i said, "the body was found down that hill." he said, "i don't know how she got there." >> to look back at these

statements, there are huge problems. they're inconsistent within themselves. they're inconsistent relative to the other statements. and they're inconsistent relative to the facts. >> how did those marks get on her head? >> knife. >> i shouldn't say those aren't the marks of a knife. she has a fractured skull. she was hit with a very, very heavy object. korey, you saw that picture. you don't get these lines -- you don't get a fractured skull from that. >> it more look like it's -- it's -- it's like a rock. i did see kevin pick up a hand rock. a small hand rock and hit her across the face with it. >> are you just saying that becae am asking you? >> no. >> why didn't you say it before? >> huh? >> why didn't you say it before? >> me just taking a quick glance in the dark. i remember him picking up a rock out the dirt. >> the inconsistencies in nd hi

statements about using a knife in the commission of the crime, i think, are just complete exaggerations. he was a very difficult person to interview because he kept changing his story. >> when you watch korey, it's almost like he's desperate to get it right. he tells one story at this moment. he tells this story at another moment. well, yeah, when you look at false confession cases, it's because when they told the truth you didn't ane theentr par fivethey heard that different he that did it. >> raymond had an arm. steve had her legs, spread it out. and antron got on top. >> what was kevin doing while steve lopez was holding here hands and hitting her with the brick? >> he was having sex with her. >> you said that someone had sex with her. >> yeah, it was kevin,

um -- raymond -- kev -- it was steven and raymond. >> of course there are going to be some inconsistencies between the statements. and in my experience, when you take statements, there's kind of a range, right? >> they minimized their own involvement in it by saying, "but he did more than i did." >> i was playing with her legs. >> what were you doing to her legs? >> huh? i was going up and down her legs. i wasn't doing as much as they were doing. >> i grabbed her arm and stuff. >> you were grabbing her arm? >> okay, were you grabbing her arms? >> yeah. >> the teenagers believed that if they said something, they could get out of the interrogation room. >> all i had to do was tell the truth. i probably would hwas the detectives handed them a shovel. >> according to the law of new york, by saying, "i didn't do the rape, i just held her down," that is as guilty, under the law, as if saying, i climbed on top of a woman and raped her. >> i think we're at the point where we're thinking there may well be a brain dysfunction as

horrible thing happened to. >> she was sure of herself and intelligent and courageous to be sitting there facing the boys accused of doing this horrible crime. and somehow she made it through. the whole thing was very emotional and moving. >> they played on the emotions big time. they wanted you to see her with the slurred speech, the wound to her head. it was powerful. it was. >> i told myself and my fellow jurors, that is not what this case is about. it's about finding the right people. and we must not let our feelings of outrage about what happened to her cause us to -- to leap to any kind of premature conclusions. >> there was a huge problem in this case. the semen did not match any of the defendants.

if it ain't broke, don't fix it? they used these confessions with effectiveness in the first trial, and the strategy was if it worked once, it'll work again. play the tapes and let the jurors judge for themselves. >> the tape was brutal. in fact, it was so graphic, some of the jurors, at least a couple of them, looked like they were having a hard time watching it. >> it was the confessions that were on tape that were the heart of everything. the prosecutor kept going back to that, emphasizing that, constantly hammered into us. >> legal scholars have referred to confession evidence as the gold standard, the king of evidence. the sight and sound of an individual incriminating himself is as powerful as it gets. >> in 1990, it was hard to believe that the police would actually coerce children into making false confessions. i don't think any of us could completely grasp that idea at that point in time. >> in the pre-podcast, documentary mode, pre-netflix,

people didn't know about false confessions. confessions. >> in the second trial, the jury struggled with korey wise's confessions. there were two statements. they were all over the place. the facts were contradictory, self-contradicted. >> who was the first person to have sex with her? >> it was,u h -- it was raymond. >> who was the first one who had sex with her? koy ifasey, the trial. because the jury wondered, was it just all wrong? >> why do you want to change the statement you made before? >> when the detective came in my face arguing with me, cursing at me, hitting on me, i thought about it.

i said to myself, you know you said a lie." they took advantage of my whole little innocent being. took advantage of all that. >> now, the jury saw the confession tape of korey wise in its entirety tonight, and they're upstairs working, deliberating, right now. it looks like they are going to make this night a late one. >> i didn't believe that he had anything to do with the rape. korey wise's confession didn't make any sense compared to anything else. it just didn't line up. several of the jurors kept at me and at me. they pushed me to go to the other direction, and i wished to god i had just hung the jury on that. and that's -- that's been my biggest regret for 30 years. >> tonight, two young men charged in that infamous attack face the prospect of spending several years of their young lives behind bars. >> the courtroom was hushed. the judge warned the spectators

to be quiet. then the jury foreman read the verdicts. korey wise, found guilty of sexual abuse, first-degree assault and riot. then with respect to kevin richardson, guilty on every charge. >> the trial waserns elizabeth lederer, to her credit, did a phenomenal job of putting the case together. >> when they read the verdict, it was like the worst day of our lives. it was like somebody just stabbing you in the heart. and the haunting image that i will never forget is of my brother, looking at us, crying. we were in shock. >> then, outside, the family ofr grief at the press. one man with the family picked up a piece of concrete and looked like he was going to throw it. >> we like to believe that new york city is a gorgeous mosaic. trials like this reflect the fact that there's a deep crack in that mosaic, especially as it

young men. n, a they go ay as one of them, korey wise, is sentenced to 5 to 15 as an adult. >> even when admitting their guilt and expressing remorse might have actually given them a shot at being paroled sooner, none of them would. >> i was in prison for a crime that i didn't commit. it was just really the -- like, despair. you know you don't have your family around you. you want your family. you want to see your family and your loved ones. you want to see your frien. you the world outside moves forward. people have gotten older. people have moved on. some have died, you know. things have changed, but they don't hardly go anywhere.

>> then five years after the trials are over, the teenagers are in prison. there's a milestone involving trisha meili. >> in the fall of 1995, i ran the new york city marathon. i felt so proud of the hard work that had gotten me there. because it was hard. i mean, i worked hard. and in that moment, i realized or i felt that i had reclaimed . >> a couple of years after trisha meili runs the marathon again, the teenagers who had been convicted start to come out of prison.

they're in their 20s. >> and so ultimately the four men who had been 14 and 15 at the time were conditionally released based on time off for good behavior after about 7 or 8 years. >> i'm so bitter. i got so much anger in me, you know? i'm not the type of person to turn a cheek. i mean, we lost our lives. we grew up in the system. >> you know, i used to tell my brother, because you know what you did. god knows what you did. so it doesn't matter what any man has to say. u your head up high. >> people were outraged with the verdict. media.nd many people blamed the 12 articles -- not 12% -- 12 articles in that sample used the term "alleged." >> if there's a fault of some who covered the central park

jogger story, it may be i wasn't skeptical enough. >> we're live at supreme court in lower manhattan. >> hey, hey, ho, ho, all rapists got to go. >> maybe we were too willing to acptes pvided peace, when a better job in journalism is digging and digging and digging until you get to the bottom of the trough. it turned out that's where matias reyes was.

i couldn't imagine what he went through. sometimes i don't want to remember, i don't want to think about it. but you got to keep going, and i needed to be going for him. >> reyes has changed everything. there's now a new narrative. the district attorney has t w nso the convictions. heti ipron >> come on. >> how you doing? >> come on, right here. >> being away for a good number of years, being deprived, being ock,ived of fed goi from

>> here. my son is coming home. >> mm-hmm. he's home. sometime people say crumbs is better than nothing. well, i don't know about that. i'm a conquering woman. i want my whole cake back, even if it is after 13 years. >> when you have a son who has been accused of these types of crimes and has gone to prison, it's like something you never r get over you live with it every day. >> when they got out, i talked a lot to them. and they were just broken.

>> this is home. le,ho pi ue om h whi osed to ?" even after it is proven scientifically with dna you didn't do the crime, you have people that say, yeah, you did it. >> it doesn't prove that they're innocent. it just means in the eyes of the law, their convictions no longer exist. >> when matias reyes says he did it alone, it's not just the prosecutors and cops who don't believe it. trisha meili herself doesn't think he could have done it by himself. >> there is medical evidence to support that more than one person was responsible for the attack on me. my injuries are different from what matias reyes claimed that he was the sole attacker.

>> we have not discussed the attack with her. >> there were handprints pressed into her skin that looked red in outline. >> they were also different sizes. so it looks like, to me, more than one person doing that. >> the new york city police department ends up feeling it needs to do something to tell its side of the story. and so the police commissioner decides to appoint michael armstrong, who would deliver the armstrong report. >> i was not considered someone who was a big pro-cop person. tried to piece together what happened 14 years after it happened was theoretical at best by anybody. >> did any detective tell you to change your statement? >> no. >> are you doing this of your free will? >> yes. >> i don't think there is any credible evidence at all that anything was done in an improper

way to make them talk. >> so the police-led investigation concluded that the police didn't do anything wrong. >> we felt that the most likely scenario involved an attack by a large number of people, and then she was dragged into the woods, and there reyes, either by himself or perhaps with others, practically killed her and committed the horrendous rape. >> he jumps full-throat into the realm of speculation. and once again, there's mud on the central park five. >> the difficulty i have with the armstrong report is that to say they had something to do with it -- they weren't convicted of something. they were convicted of rape and the attack. so it seems to me like you just want to make something stick to want to make something stick to justify the hysteria.

say they had "something to do with it," they weren't convicted >> it's not a very satisfying document if you're looking for hard proof. but it does become the basis of the city saying, we're not sure enough about morganthau's conclusions that we want to issue an apology and pay a settlement to these kids.p>> w? >> i think some kind of legal action should happen for what they did to innocent boys. >> the next chapter in the story is they sue. they feel that they were railroaded into prison. they lost years of their lives. they want justice for it. they want money. >> michael bloomberg is the mayor when this lawsuit is filed. bloomberg was not going to settle this case. >> there was nothing to be gained by any politician anywhere in the united states advocating on the behalf of these five young men. and then things changed again when a documentary's introduced. and we see how it can be a game changer in the case. >> no money could bring the life that was missing with the time

we are at a point where the lawsuit filed by the members of the central park thcity has been dragging for a decade. >> the bloomberg administration steadfastly took the position, the proper one, that in order for the plaintiffs to prevail, they had to show that there was some police misbehavior. >> then along comes sarah burns, and she decides she's going to take a look at the case.harop f

bo aut case that came out in 2011, but it became making a film was actually maybe the best way to tell this story. >> she happens to be the daughter of ken burns. >> by interviewing the five, and putting them on camera in a way that they hadn't really been before, i think was a new thing. >> you won't forget what you done lost. no money can bring the life that was missing. >> why me? cursed god out a couple of times. you know, my faith was gone. >> i lost seven years of my life. i lost that sense of being youthful. >> it changed our life. in '89, it was such a media frenzy that we were scared to speak.

but now we take the central park five, and we wear it as a badge. and people see us for who we are. >> when this documentary comes out, it succeeds not just in raising what reasonable people would consider doubt as to the guilt of the central park five. it raises the possibility that they're actually innocent. >> that film was made while we had the equivalent of a gag order from a federal judge. we could not speak publicly. the daughter of the filmmaker had worked for the legal team of the five, so i didn't exactly think we'd get a fair hearing. >> ken and sarah burns did this city and our country a huge disservice. they perpetrated a lie, they created this myth of these kids that were railroaded, when that never happened. >> when that documentary came out, it was a huge deal. i think the documentary really

laid the groundwork for some of the steps that occurred afterwards. >> i think that the moral issue is quite clear. >> bill de blasio is running for mayor in a different new york city. >>wado a we to respond to that injustice. >> here's this scar from the dark days that hasn't healed, the central park case. >> i bill de blasio -- >> and he says as a campaign promise, "i'll settle it." >> they spent a lot of their lives in jail, in prison wrongly. >> 13 years. we have an obligation to turn the page. we have an obligation to do something fair for them, but for the whole city to turn the page and move forward. >> a federal judge has approved n ttlement with the five men wrongly convicted in the central park jogger attack. >> the settlement in this case was $41 million. most of the defendants each received $7 million. korey wise received $13 million. >> this is amazing.e t veback

their good name. >> it's a classic settlement. on the one hand, the defendants get $41 million, and on the other hand, the city sticks by its cops and prosecutors and says, "we are not going to hang them out to dry. they did not engage in police misconduct. they did not engage in prosecutorial misconduct." >> i just don't understand a settlement for that kind of behavior. sorry. >> i so wish that the case hadn't been settled. i supported the work of law enforcement and prosecutors the time. th >> this has given us our lives back. >> now they're arguably taking a victory lap.

>> depending who you talk to you'll get a different take on the central park five, but all people are in agreement on trisha meili and what she's endurred and what she's doing with her life now. she's advocating for the improvement of rape kits. >> i speak to groups all around the country. i speak the all kinds of groups. >> my work now is standing with survivors of brain injury, of sexual assault, of other kinds of trauma. >> could something like the central park five casppagain? onlyuca safeguard we have t tt from happening is history ourcogniti that moment. >> there are takeaways. the interrogation must be recorded. simple as that. when you don't do that, what don't you want me to see? >> fast forward, what we see
