WOW.....what a story! The central park jogger speaks out 14 years later!

[Brutuskend]

Some of you younger folks may not remember this story, but it must be read and remembered!

the jogger

On the evening of April 19, 1989, a young woman, out for her run in New York?s Central Park, was bludgeoned, raped, sodomized and beaten so savagely that doctors despaired for her life and a horrified nation cried out in pain and outrage. We?ve heard so much about the crime, yet know so little about the victim ? a word, incidentally, she refuses to use. For the first time, in an exclusive interview with NBC?s Katie Couric, you?ll learn the name, see the face, and witness the indomitable spirit of the Central Park Jogger.

Tried to watch it a couple of nights ago... I changed the channel after 20 minutes... got so boring. I feel for her, but where was she going with it all ?

I don't feel bad for the 5 "wrongly convicted" guys at all. So they didn't rape her. They still formed a gang and went looking for innocent people to beat because they were bored. They desevered the 7-13 years they got.

I do, because they were basically tricked/forced into confessing they'd committed a horrible crime they were innocent of.

Again, is another example of fine Police/Detective work.

Wait, didn't this b|tch finger 5 kids for the crime, who had no involvement in it at all? IIRC, these kids ended up serving 10-20 years in prison. It doesn't matter if you've been raped, killed, whatever... Nothing gives you the right to falsely implicate innocent people in a crime, just to satisfy your own sick sense of justice.

She didnt finger anybody, she was so badly beaten she basically has no memory of the night in question. She did testify in the trial(s) but didnt provide any sort of first hand account of what happened.

She almost bled to death, and her eyeballs were hanging out of her head from the savage beating as well as lots of long term brain damage.
