They borderline tortured those kids to get a "confession". Sleep deprivation, no food, questioning them without an attorney or parents present.

The prosecutor still insists they're guilty.....

Yep. Will never understand how any rational minded person voted for this guy. It truly is fucking disgusting.

No evidence, dna proved to be not theres years ago, stories overlapping each other while clearly be coerced. DA having the detectives interrogate KIDS without an adult, a DA threatening to bring up the fathers past at his good job if he didnt get kid to go along.

Those are some evil bitches. And I hope they burn an I could care less if they were brutally murdered. How in the fuck can you sleep at night knowing you tool the lives of 5 innocent boys, one who wasnt even on the list and you got him because he couldnt even read.

As a black man I cant watch that shit. I know enough of the story. Probably the first time my grandma told me to never speak to the cops.

As a fellow black man I usually feel this way too. Which is why I skipped Amistad, 12 years a slave, etc. For some reason this one spoke to me though.

I never heard of the incident before the show and I damn near cried when they were given the verdict of guilty and it showed Kevin playing his trumpet on the street. They did a damn good job with the show.

There's a very good Ken Burns documentary about the incident too.

For me I was a junior in college at the time and often harassed by the LAPD (even though I grew up in Pasadena). I was scared something like that could happen to me.

It goes back to Jim Crow (before that it was probably straight up Klansmen). Remember that cops busted MLK and Rosa Parks and people trying to eat at lunch counters. They busted tiny little Rosa fucking Parks.

I hope it serves as a reminder that the criminal justice system's job isn't to catch and prosecute criminals. It's to close cases. Who goes to jail doesn't matter.
