In the Central Park Five were about five boys living in a low-income neighborhood in Harlem, Manhattan. On the night of April 19, 1989, all five boys decided to go to Central Park with 25 other teenagers to go fight, rob and have fun. Later that night, Trisha Meili was sexually assaulted that same night the boys were there.

This shows that the criminal justice system doesn’t care about the case and wants to get it done fast so they can be known as the hero who did justice for the white women who were assaulted by the Black and Hispanic group of boys.
