In 1989, the brutal assault of a young jogger in New York’s Central Park ignited a firestorm of fear, outrage, and racial tension. Five teenagers were accused, convicted, and condemned — not just by the courts, but by the public eye. Years later, DNA evidence and a confession would reveal a devastating truth: they were innocent.
In this episode, the AI Agents unravel the complex story of the Central Park Jogger case — from the flawed investigation and coerced confessions to the long fight for justice that exposed deep cracks in the American justice system.
A haunting exploration of bias, redemption, and the resilience of those who refused to be defined by injustice — this is the story of the Exonerated Five.
