Prosecutor Seeks Dismissal of Convictions in '89 Jogger Case

Date: December 5, 2002
Authors: Jim Dwyer and Kevin Flynn
QUOTE: For the last 11 months, the Police Department and Mr. Morgenthau's office have conducted a sweeping reinvestigation of the original charges, after a convicted murderer and serial rapist stepped forward to say that he alone had attacked and raped a woman jogger.

ABSTRACT: Convicts of a 1989 assault and rape incident in New York's Central Park may be exonerated after DNA evidence has linked a new perpetrator to the crime. But first lawyers must determine his role in the crime. Was he was the sole responsible individual, or just a member in the gang of the original five convicts?
