Trump stands by comments on wrongly convicted Central Park Five

Written By Daily Mail World on Wednesday, Jun 19, 2019 | 05:38 AM

 
President Donald Trump on Tuesday refused to apologize to the men in the Central Park Five case after he took out a full-page ad demanding the death penalty for the attackers in a 1989 assault and rape of a jogger. 'Why do you bring that question up now?,' the president said when he was asked about it on the South Lawn before he left for Florida. He suggested the men were guilty when he noted there were people on both sides of the issue in the 1989 case, which has returned to the spotlight after a Netflix series highlighted the injustices and wrongful conviction of five teenage black boys.
