Central Park Rape: The Secret File

Ann Coulter Nov 15, 2023

In an article about the election of Yusef Salaam, of the "Central Park Five," to the New York City Council last week, The New York Times' Jeffery C. Mays indignantly cited the full-page ad Donald Trump had taken out at the time, which never mentioned the Central Park rape but decried crime in the city and called for reinstitution of the death penalty.  Mays described the case against The Five thus:

"The confessions of Mr. Salaam and the four others who were convicted alongside him were coerced. There was no DNA evidence tying the teenagers -- Mr. Salaam, Korey Wise, Kevin Richardson, Raymond Santana and Antron McCray -- to the brutal attack. Mr. Trump's racist rantings only inflamed [racial] tensions."

Two of those claims are laughably false, and the third is utterly meaningless............. It's a sleight of hand to say that there was "no DNA evidence" tying The Five to the crime. Yeah, that's probably because in 1989, no one would have been looking for DNA............

Here's just some of the evidence against The Five:

-- When Santana was being driven to the precinct house for general mayhem, he blurted out: "I had nothing to do with the rape. All I did was feel the woman's tits."

At this point, the jogger's body hadn't been found yet. The police knew nothing about any rape.

-- Another boy, picked up with Richardson, told the police that he knew who did "the murder," naming McCray. Richardson concurred, saying, "Yeah. That's who did it."

Again, the police were unaware of any rape or murder.

The next morning, Richardson pointed to the 102nd Street transverse, telling officers, "This is where we got her."

-- Dennis Commedo, part of the larger group wilding that night, told the police that, when he ran into Richardson, he had said, "We just raped somebody."...............

Defense attorneys spent weeks attacking the confessions as "coerced," but two multicultural juries and the trial judge concluded that the confessions were voluntary. Taking the other side is some bimbo with a Netflix documentary, on the basis of no evidence whatsoever. Moreover, recall that when The Five confessed, no one knew whether the jogger would emerge from her coma and be able to identify her attackers.

Newly elected councilman Salaam and the Times' Mays contend that the case against The Five was racism, pure and simple. Salaam says the single, solitary reason he and the others were accused was that "black and brown people" were "instantly [deemed] guilty, without a chance of proving their innocence."  "Black and brown people" were not only deemed guilty -- they were guilty. Reyes, the one even liberals admit was guilty, is "brown."................Salaam cites Scripture a lot. Everyone involved in the "exoneration" of The Five ought to remember Proverbs 19:9: "A false witness will not go unpunished, and he who breathes out lies will perish."..................To Read More....
