Hi everyone,
Here's more information on the incident that I mentioned in class today. Go to this PBS website to find our more and watch video clips on a documentary on the incident, entitled Central Park Five.
The memoir published by the jogger is "I am the Central Park Jogger." She was an investment banker who was running in the evening. She was raped and severely beaten. The attack left her in coma for 12 days...
Another incident similar to this is "the Scottsboro Boys" case. Nine young black men were falsely accused of raping two white women on board a train near Scottsboro, Alabama in 1931. More on it here.
