WAS THE CENTRAL PARK 5 GUILTY? I THINK SO! HERE'S WHY...part 2
The ex-NYPD detective who made the first arrests in the Central Park Five case says the Netflix depiction of it is full of “lies” — putting police and prosecutors at risk.
Eric Reynolds, who busted Raymond Santana and Kevin Richardson, both 14 at the time, told the Daily Mail that Ava DuVernay’s “How They See Us” is inflammatory.
Among his complaints: It falsely depicts the defendants as innocent bystanders rather than part of a pack of more than 30 young men who were “wilding” through Central Park on April 19 1989, when 28-year-old jogger Trisha Meili was brutally raped and beaten. And the portrayal shows them looking badly beaten when they were arrested.
“Please, someone, show me the pictures of them,” Reynolds said, disputing the authenticity of the depiction. “Show me the injuries, show me the black eyes, show me the swollen faces because every single one of them that came out of that precinct had none of that.”
Reynolds, who had his own legal issues when he left his gun in the bathroom of an East Village bar in 2014, insists there is forensic evidence showing the youths were involved in the attack on Meili, despite the confession by serial rapist Matias Reyes and DNA evidence that tied him to the crime. The Central Park Five were fully exonerated after Reyes confessed.
Prosecutor Linda Fairstein similarly criticized the Netflix series, calling it “so full of distortions and falsehoods as to be an outright fabrication.”
The assistant district attorney on the case, Elizabeth Lederer, left her post as a part-time lecturer at Columbia Law School because of backlash from the film.
