Mr. Trump took out full-page ads in all of New York Cityâs major ones, two weeks after the attack, calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty. The mogul never explicitly mentioned the five. All 5 confessed to the beating of this woman, who was beaten so badly that she never returned to any sense of normal. Later, Matias Reyes confessed to raping the woman, and his seaman and DNA was found on her body.
Furthermore, in 2003, a panel commissioned by the NYPD did find that there had been no misconduct in the investigation of the case, and suggested that the five were still âlikely guiltyâ of the crime. The panelâs central contentions were that the confessions had not been coerced, and that the only evidence suggesting that Reyes acted alone was his own word. Nonetheless, the panel concluded that the convictions had to be overturned because Reyesâs confession constituted ânew evidence that had to be evaluated by a jury.ââ Two doctors who treated Trisha Ellen Meili after she was attacked stated that her injuries were not consistent with Reyes' claim that he acted alone. You are also leaving out other facts: The teenagers attacked and beat people as they moved south, on the park's East Drive and the 97th Street Transverse, between 9 pm and 10 pm.
Between 105th and 102nd Streets a group of teenagers, that included the "5" attacked several bicyclists, hurled rocks at a cab, and attacked a man who was walking, whom they knocked to the ground, assaulted, robbed, and left unconscious. A schoolteacher out for a run was severely beaten and kicked between 9:40 and 9:50. Then, at the 97th Street Transverse at the northwest end of the Central Park Reservoir running track, at about 10 pm, they attacked another jogger, hitting him in the back of the head with a pipe and stick. They pummeled two men into unconsciousness, hitting them with a metal pipe, stones, and punches, and kicking them in the head. A police officer testified that one male jogger, who said he had been jumped by four or five black youths, was bleeding so badly he "looked like he was dunked in a bucket of blood".
The DNA did not prove that they, the "5" did not commit this most utterly odious and wicked act, it just proved that there was a 6th teenager who left his DNA.. So 5 monsters now walk the streets having gotten away with this brutal assault.
So given the nature of the attacks on more than one individual, given the fact that the evidence to include hairs found on the underwear of one of these "boys" and the condition of many of the people who were attacked, any reasonable person would be outraged. Yes, Mr. Trump was outraged and expressed his anger in the form of ad calling for the return of the death penalty to use as a deterrent to other criminals who attack, rob, sodomize, and beat people to or close to death. So, yes.... give me Mr. Trump with his compassion.... and you can keep the Clinton who did not care about people she allowed to be murdered and afterward proclaimed.... "what difference does it make." And let us not forget, anyone that goes against her have unexpected issue... like turning up dead.

Trump is the man who wanted the Central Park 5 found guilty and put to death when they were accused of raping a white female who was jogging in Central Park. He took out a huge ad advocating the death penalty for them. They went to prison but have been acquited because DNA evidence shows they were not guilty. Trump continues to claim they are guilty and advocating putting them to death.
This is the kind of man you want for President ?
