	Vindicated at last
		THIRTEEN YEARS ago, the Central Park jogger rape case was the centerpiece of a racist law-and-order hysteria in New York City.
		From the night that the young white stockbroker was brutally raped and beaten, the five boys were caught in a lynch-mob atmosphere.

		A Manhattan judge on Thursday vacated the convictions of five men who were found guilty of attacking and raping a jogger in Central Park 13 years ago, affirming an astonishing turn of events in one of modern New York City's most horrific crimes.

		Though the five defendants, who at the time were between the ages of 14 and 16, confessed to attacking the jogger, they did not admit to raping her.

		The Central Park jogger trial of 1989, in which five Black and Latino teens were convicted of assaulting and raping a young and white investment banker, seemed to turn the tables on Scottsboro--this time, everyone agreed that the "fl" boys were indeed guilty, and liberals and feminists were at the head of that consensus.

	Mark Goldblatt on Central Park Jogger on National Review Online
		If the foregoing is absolutely certain, logical questions still remain: The jogger's rape falls smack in the middle of the timeline for the other assaults; it's doubtful the teens would have had sufficient time to gang-rape her, collect themselves, and continue on their violent rampage.
		After the jogger had stopped moving, the teens likely stripped her and copped their feels, with one or two doing more with her lifeless body, before the group moved on to terrorize other passers-by.
		Whatever the specifics, the fact that many in the fl community now view the Central Park Five as martyrs to a racist legal system, rather than as a source of lasting shame, is a cultural indictment that goes beyond the time served by five lowlife teens.
