after korey left, reyes went to the warden and said, i did time for a crime i committed. suddenly the case comes blowing uphill and the da comes up and takes a sample. it matches. the unknown a semen sample from before. he gives details of the case that no one knew, even the cops. they suddenly piece it all together. the district attorney who had overseen the original to --osecutors who were inbuilt. who wreerewere involved

he served korey. at the time, everyone assumed they were guilty. they were guilty. they had confessed. the question was, what soapbox this might present for one attorney? what can you do to my gate this mitigate this? people were not fitting things together. the coverage was so great. the african-american papers bought into it. most of their relatives shun them and ostracized these five boys. they assumed they were guilty. the tragedies within each of the families are expensive these guy mentioned that it is hard to recount them. suffice it to say, each of them separate in the obvious way that -- suffered in the obvious way that society had intended them to suffer by going to jail. but also in the losses that happened within their own families. mothers and fathers and parents splitting up. super hero.her was his if his father had told him, stick to your guns, he wouldn't have confessed. it is only later after the painful memory of seeing his father lying dead that he suddenly realized what forgiveness could be. he has to go to his grave with all of that was left jus
