A riveting, in-depth account of one of New York City’s mostnotorious crimes.
On April 20, 1989, the body of a woman is discovered in CentralPark, her skull so badly smashed that nearly 80 percent of herblood has spilled onto the ground. Within days, five black andLatino teenagers confess to her rape and beating. In a city whereurban crime is at a high and violence is frequent, the ensuingmedia frenzy and hysterical public reaction is extraordinary. Theyoung men are tried as adults and convicted of rape, despite thefact that the teens quickly recant their inconsistent andinaccurate confessions and that no DNA tests or eyewitness accountstie any of them to the victim. They serve their complete sentencesbefore another man, serial rapist Matias Reyes, confesses to thecrime and is connected to it by DNA testing.
Intertwining the stories of these five young men, the policeofficers, the district attorneys, the victim, and Matias Reyes,Sarah Burns unravels the forces that made both the crime and itsprosecution possible. Most dramatically, she gives us a portrait ofa city already beset by violence and deepening rifts between racesand classes, whose law enforcement, government, socialinstitutions, and media were undermining the very rights of theindividuals they were designed to safeguard and protect. Sarah Burns graduated from Yale University in2004 with a degree in American studies and went on to work forMoore & Goodman, a small civil rights law firm based in NewYork. She is now producing a documentary film with Ken Burns basedon this book. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
