After they were cleared of all charges they sued the City of New York. The then Mayor fought to block any settlement & the case lingered in court until 2014. That Mayor has never apologized. That Mayor is now running for President of the United States. It was Michael Bloomberg.
Manhattan (1989). New York residents give their take on the Central Park Five case, where five Black teenagers were convicted of raping and assaulting a white woman at night in Central Park. A serial rapist later confessed to the crime in 2002, clearing them of all charges.

What's not funny is that Tom Cotton prevented Cassandra Butts nomination as Ambassador to the Bahamas from moving forward until she died just to "inflict special pain" on President Obama of whom she was a close friend of. Never a word of her qualifications. Just to cause pain.
Isn’t it funny how liberal Democrats favor open borders & mass migration, yet don’t want the migrants in their own neighborhoods? Probably no better example of how the powerful protect themselves from the consequences of their own dangerous policies.
