People too young to have experienced it, or who were not in the USA at the time (my husband) got one hell of an education.

to watch it and your review helps.

Thanks, JAG.

Exactly why Kaleif Browder killed himself.

The key focus is on Korey Wise who was first sent to Riker's Island (adult prison) at the age of 16.

In these times of Trump - regardless as to whether Ms. Meili (Matias Reyes confessed and DNA evidence proved his confession as her sole attacker), the rat faced prosecutor (Fairstein), Sheehan (cop), and Lederer (first chair on the case) will ever admit that these boys and now men were innocent - and they all railroaded them from a space and place of racism and evil intent -

I'm glad Manafort's sorry ass is being sent there by the state of New York . *evil laugh*

His boss wanted those innocent boys to be murdered by the state of NY - it's only fitting he gets to sit in the hell that poor Korey Wise went through.

I knew that they were awarded a multi-million dollar settlement. And I'm surprised by this just posted today about rat faced Fairstein!!!

Now I can watch When They See Us knowing that the outcry from it is having a real affect besides the men still proving their innocence to the unknowing masses.

Thank you, JAG, for not hesitating to watch what the guys endured and being a lightweight like me!

Central Park Five prosecutor under fire again after Netflix series
A former prosecutor at the center of New York's notorious Central Park Five rape case faces strong backlash, after the release of a hard-hitting Netflix series. Linda Fairstein stepped down from the boards of a college and a non-profit charity. She was the top Manhattan sex crimes prosecutor when five teenagers were wrongfully convicted following the 1989 attack on a female jogger. Michelle Miller reports.

I was in NY at the time it was all happening. I was in high school at the time. Its just all too real. I am starting to become a bit disillusioned even here on DU the last few days how easy it is for some people to throw POC under the bus for their own benefit.

As JAG suggested I watched it with my husband, too. It Is pure horror. It's no wonder to me that I gravitate to sci-fi/fantasy because it's Easier to deal with that than this reality. I was 19 at the time and all I could think was those kids don't even know each other and any one of them is my brother who was 15 at the time. And you hold your breath praying for them hoping that misfortune passes your house but years later it came and because of that I couldn't watch When They See Us for a long while.

Please watch because we have to be witnesses even if there's nothing we can do but protest. It also helped watching knowing that the two bitches involved faced incredible backlash and wonderful loss in finances this case helped them gain in the first place.

Fuck them now and forever because they see nothing wrong with what they did and our men are alive to enjoy their defeat.
