Apologies to NYPD and Prosecutors

The sum total of the “exoneration”: the word of a psycho. The SJW’s verdict: Award the criminals $41 million.”

Just as I cannot imagine fabricating confessions to convict innocent kids, I cannot imagine a media that would put out so dishonest a story that it led to four guilty kids being awarded 41 Million dollars. It is reminiscent of feudalism, but this time where different preferential rules, laws and “news” apply to blacks.

I’m referring to a PBS documentary about false conviction of The Central Park Five, which I reported at Majorityrights in an article originally titled “Coerced Confessions of The Central Park Five” and now titled, Confessions of The Central Park Five.

Not being a journalist by trade - in fact, looking upon the news section as a chore to be relegated to the background of theoretical concerns - the strategy enlisted here, rather, for getting at the truth of the matter on news stories, is to encourage comments to correct mistakes and oversights in postings (to be distinguished from ad hominem attacks aimed at destroying me and the platform because this platform doesn’t allow final say from those who promote Christianity, Jewish interests, Hitler/Nazism, race mixing, scientism, or bizarre conspiracy theories). Unfortunately, because those interests are not included in this platform, the site has become a no-mans land, even though it is an eminently reasonable platform, I am confident to argue, the most reasonable and best platform for the advocacy of European peoples.

Goodness knows our advocacy is necessary when the media can be this biased against Whites and in the promotion of black interests.

Apologies to the NYPD and the prosecutors. A social constructionist approach to getting at the truth does work but can be quite belated in its corrections if people don’t participate in getting at our truth but are rather motivated by the hope that I fail as I do not follow their A gods, Abraham, Adolf and sundry other Absurdity.

CENTRAL PARK RAPISTS: TRUMP WAS RIGHT, By Ann Coulter, 25 July 2018

The city of New York released thousands of documents from the 1989 Central Park rape case last week, provoking more weeping and gnashing of teeth over Donald Trump’s full-page ads in four New York newspapers taken out soon after that attack with the headline:

“BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY.

“BRING BACK OUR POLICE!”

His ad never mentioned the Central Park rape, but talked about New York families—“White, Black, Hispanic and Asian”—unable to enjoy walks through the park at dusk. Of muggers and murderers, he said, “I no longer want to understand their anger. I want them to understand our anger. ... They should be forced to suffer and, when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes.”

According to the media, the five convicted boys were INNOCENT — and Trump would have executed the poor lads! This is nonsense. They wouldn’t have been executed because the rape victim miraculously survived. Also, they weren’t innocent.

Let’s look at the facts of the case.

On April 19, 1989, investment banker Trisha Meili went for a run through Central Park around 9 p.m., whereupon she was attacked by a wolf pack looking for a “white girl,” dragged 100 yards into the woods, stripped, beaten with a pipe and a brick, raped and left for dead.

By the time the police found Meili, she’d lost three-quarters of her blood. Her case was initially assigned to the homicide unit of the D.A.‘s office because none of her doctors thought she would make it through the night.

Of the 37 youths brought in for questioning about the multiple violent attacks in the park that night, only 10 were charged with a crime and only five for the rape of the jogger: Antron McCray, Yusef Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson and Korey Wise. All five confessed—four on videotape with adult relatives present and one with a parent present, but not on videotape.

Two unanimous, multicultural juries convicted them, despite aggressive defense lawyers putting on their best case.

But the media have a different method of judging guilt and innocence. They don’t look at irrelevant factors, such as evidence, but at relevant factors such as the race of the accused and the race of the victim.

Unfortunately for Meili, she was guilty of being white, while her attackers belonged to the Brahmin caste: “people of color.” So, after waiting an interminable 13 years, the media proclaimed that the five convicts had been “exonerated” by DNA evidence.

DNA evidence didn’t convict them, so it couldn’t “exonerate” them. This was a gang attack. It was always known that other rapists “got away,” as the prosecutor told the jury, and that none of the defendants’ DNA was found in the jogger’s cervix or on her sock—the only samples that were taken.

While it blows most people away to find out that none of the suspects’ DNA was found on Meili, this is a sleight of hand. The trick is that we’re looking at it through a modern lens. True, today, these kids’ DNA would have been found all over the crime scene. But in 1989, DNA was a primitive science. Cops wouldn’t have even bothered collecting samples for DNA tests back then.

The case was solved with other evidence—and there was a lot of it.

[...]

The “exoneration” comes down to Reyes’ unsubstantiated claim that he acted alone. Years of careful investigation, videotaped confessions, witness statements, assembling evidence, trial by jury and repeated appeals—all that is nothing compared to the word of an upstanding citizen like Reyes, a violent psychopath who sexually assaulted his own mother and raped and murdered a pregnant woman while her children heard the attack through the bedroom door.

That’s the sum total of the “exoneration”: the word of a psycho.

Note that Reyes faced absolutely no penalty for his confession—the statute of limitations had run out years earlier. Before he confessed, Reyes had been moved to Korey Wise’s cellblock. He requested a transfer on the grounds that he feared Wise’s gang. All he had to do was confess—with no penalty—and he got his prison transfer!

Not even this monster’s self-serving “confession” can explain away the five attackers’ other crimes that night—vicious beatings that left one parkgoer unconscious and another permanently injured. These attacks, the “Central Park Five” never disputed, and frequently admitted.

The SJW’s verdict: Award the criminals $41 million. Trump’s idea: Punish them.

And you still can’t figure out how he became president.

Central Park Jogger’s’ Doctors Said Injuries Indicate More Than One Attacker

Matias Reyes’ Confession He Was Sole Attacker Led To Conviction Dismissals for “Central Park Five”

Wall Street Journal, Updated June 20, 2014 4:16 pm ET

By Sean Gardiner

Two doctors who treated the “Central Park jogger” after she was beaten, raped and left for dead in 1989 say that medical evidence shows her confessed assailant might not have been her only attacker.

Convicted serial rapist Matias Reyes’s 2002 confession, in which he said he acted alone, was the cornerstone of prosecutors’ 2002 decision to dismiss the conviction of five teenagers who were found guilty of the crime in 1990. They became known as the Central Park Five.

The confession is also the basis for the five men’s federal civil rights lawsuit against New York City. On Wednesday, the city and the five men agreed to settle the suit for $40 million, according to a person familiar with the matter.

City attorneys, at the direction of Mayor Bill de Blasio, began negotiating the settlement with attorneys for Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Kevin Richardson, Kharey “Korey” Wise and Raymond Santana when he took office. For about a decade, the Bloomberg administration litigated the plaintiffs’ allegations that prosecutors and detectives coerced false confessions out of the five men.

During their trials, the jury heard testimony that semen recovered at the crime scene didn’t match their DNA. They each served between 6 ¾ and 13 years. The prosecution’s case relied on their statements incriminating each other and a theory that an additional rapist hadn’t been caught.

The case continues to be controversial. In 2013, documentarian Ken Burns and his daughter, Sarah Burns, released the film “Central Park Five.” Both are outspoken proponents of the men’s innocence.

The two doctors who treated Patricia Meili after the attack said in recent interviews with The Wall Street Journal that some of her physical wounds weren’t consistent with the description of Mr. Reyes’s acts, which he provided to authorities. DNA tests have confirmed Mr. Reyes raped Ms. Meili, prosecutors said.

The doctors said their findings aren’t evidence of the innocence or guilt of the five men or that they were involved in the attack. But their information, they said, should call into question Mr. Reyes’s assertion that he was her only attacker.

Mr. Reyes wasn’t prosecuted in Ms. Meili’s case because the statute of limitations expired. Letters sent to him in Shawangunk Correctional Facility in Wallkill, N.Y. seeking comment weren’t answered. A spokeswoman for the city’s Law Department declined to comment. Ten lawyers representing the five men and their families didn’t return messages for comment. Several of the defendants in the civil suit said they were under orders from the judge not to publicly discuss the case.

In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ms. Meili said she suffered amnesia as a result of the attack and has no memory of it. She said that over the years she has discussed her injuries with her doctors and they shared their opinions that some of the wounds weren’t consistent with Mr. Reyes’ description of the attack. Ms. Meili, who said she hasn’t been contacted by city attorneys negotiating the settlement, said she gave the doctors permission to discuss her injuries and medical treatment.

“I will never know what happened that horrible night,” Ms. Meili said. “But I am determined to give voice to this information that people just seem to gloss over and ignore.”

Robert Kurtz was the director of the surgical intensive-care unit at Metropolitan Hospital supervising Ms. Meili’s recovery during her approximately seven weeks there after the April 19, 1989 attack.

The doctor, now 72, said city lawyers litigating the case have never contacted him. He said he thought it was important that city officials are aware of his information after Mr. de Blasio said he wanted to settle the case. A spokesman for Mr. de Blasio did not return a message seeking comment.

Dr. Kurtz said Ms. Meili, then a 28-year-old investment banker, nearly bled to death from five lacerations to her head.

Three of those injuries were blunt wounds that could have been caused by the tree limb and rock that Mr. Reyes, now 43, said he used in the attack, Dr. Kurtz said. But two other wounds were caused by a cutting instrument, such as a knife or razorblade, he said. In the portions of his confessions made public, Mr. Reyes didn’t mention using sharp weapons.

“There had to be another individual or a group who inflicted injuries with a sharp-edged instrument if he only used a blunt object,” Dr. Kurtz said.

He was called by the government and testified at the trials of the five men. But lawyers didn’t ask what weapons could have caused the lacerations, Dr. Kurtz said.

Jane Haher, the former chief of plastic surgery at Metropolitan, said she examined Ms. Meili the day after the attack. Dr. Haher said what she saw on Ms. Meili’s legs, which were swollen with fluids, was something “I’ll never forget as long as I live.”

There were several sets of handprints, as if left on clay, indented on Ms. Meili’s thighs, calves, ankles and behind her knees, Dr. Haher said. That indicated to her that “people held her legs down while somebody did this horrible act.”

Dr. Haher said the hand marks weren’t technically injuries and she didn’t record them on her medical chart. “I was not thinking of the legal case,” she said.

Dr. Kurtz is in possession of Ms. Meili’s medical records. He said he remembered speaking with Dr. Haher about the handprints. But he said the marks didn’t strike him as unusual because media reports at the time said there were multiple people involved in the attack.

Dr. Haher said she was questioned by city attorneys fighting the men’s lawsuit about six years ago. She said she hasn’t been contacted by the current administration.

Jonathan Moore, an attorney who represents three of the five plaintiffs in their lawsuit, said there is “absolutely no evidence,” including medical records, supporting the doctors’ claims.

The doctors coming forward at this point, he said, appears to him to be part of a conspiracy that stretches from former detectives, prosecutors and others “responsible for this terrible injustice.” It is a desperate attempt, he said, to scuttle the settlement talks to protect their reputations.

“You’re talking about someone who said it’s not in the [medical] records but he just remembers it from 25 years ago?” Mr. Moore said.

Both doctors denied that they are part of any conspiracy. Dr. Kurtz said his information consists of “medical facts.” Dr. Haher said she is “just telling the truth about what I saw that day.”

Mr. Moore is correct that Ms. Meili’s medical records lack specificity, Dr. Kurtz said. The records only list the size and location of the lacerations, which he said is standard. “I watched those wounds as they healed,” he said. “I know what they looked like.”

Corrections & Amplifications

Robert Kurtz, the former director of the surgical intensive-care unit at Metropolitan Hospital, is 72 years old. A June 20 article about his observations of the “Central Park Jogger’s” wounds incorrectly said he was 73.
