The Community Responds to Central Park Five Trial, Holds Vigil for Female Jogger
WPIX : Local residents speak out on racial tensions within the African American community. The Central Park jogger case involved the assault and rape of Trisha Meili, a female jogger in New York City's Central Park, on April 19, 1989. Five juvenile males, four black and one of Hispanic descent, were tried and convicted for the crime and served their sentences fully. The convictions were vacated in 2002 when Matias Reyes, a convicted rapist and murderer serving a life sentence for other crimes, confessed to committing the crime alone and DNA evidence confirmed his involvement in the rape.
