Central Park jogger case

The Central Park jogger case was a criminal case in the United States based on the assault and rape of Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old white woman who was jogging in the park, and attacks on eight other people, in areas ranging from the North Woods to the Reservoir of Manhattan's Central Park, on the night of April 19, 1989. 
Three of the victims were black or Latino. Meili was so badly injured that she was in a coma for 12 days. 
"The New York Times" in 1990 described the attack on her as "one of the most widely publicized crimes of the 1980s".
This case is also called the Central Park Five case because of the five suspects accused of rape. The Central Park jogger case famous because it reflects how racial minorities are treated unfairly in the American legal system.
Attacks.
At 9 p.m. on April 19, 1989, a group of teenagers entered Central Park. They began to attack and rob other people in the park.
Victims.
Patricia Eileen Meili was working at an investment bank at the time of the attack. She was living in the Upper East Side of New York City.
Arrests and investigation.
Six people were indicted with rape, attempted murder, robbery, and causing a riot:
Raymond Santana and Kevin Richardson were among the first suspects to be arrested.
On May 1, 1989, Donald Trump took out ads in New York City newspapers. In these ads, he said that the death penalty should be used again and called for the five suspects to be executed. Back then, the state of New York had stopped executing people. 
The Supreme Court said in 1977 during the "Coker v. Georgia" case that people cannot be executed for committing rape. They knew that false rape accusations were used to kill black men or put them in jail.
Vacated convictions.
The convictions of the five suspects were vacated after it was revealed that they were forced to confess.
Also, another man was identified as the rapist. His name was Matias Reyes.
The five men who were convicted sued the city. They got $40 million dollars in all, $1 million for each year they were behind bars. Trump said that the city should not have given them money and that the men didn't have "the pasts of angels."
