It has been more than 30 years since a rape and attempted murder occurred in New York City that became known as the Central Park Jogger case. The crime itself was indescribably vicious; the miscarriage of justice that followed—with five African American and Latino boys who became known as the Central Park Five framed for the crime and sent to prison—remains a blight on the criminal justice system. These injustices have been poignantly captured in a damning, four-part Netflix miniseries called “When They See Us,” directed and co-written by Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Ava DuVernay.
