Documentary on PBS tonight.

Sounds pretty good, it's about the kids railroaded into jail for the rape of that woman in Central Park.

2. False confession phenomenon in that case. Very sad for all.

Until that jailed serial rapist came forward and confessed (and his DNA matched the crime scene evidence) those boys were held in jail for years -- I read that there are still some who are convinced that the boys were involved in SOME way. Argh.

Thank you for the alert on the documentary.

4. I hope they take the cops and prosecutor to task big time.

5. I got as far as seeing the father who encouraged his son

to go to the park rather than the corner, because there was too much conflict on the corner. Then the father says, "so I sent him to the park that niight. I feel guilty about that," and he breaks down.

Had to change the channel then.

6. All of the cops/prosecutors involved are hiding from the camera

Scumbags.
