So the Central Park Five want a do over.

So the Central Park Five want a do over. Remember them? Tried and convicted of rape. Well they got out and now want to sue Donald Trump. Why? Because Harris said Trump called for their execution 35 years ago.

 Trump's much-maligned ad in The New York Times never mentioned the Five, who weren't remotely eligible for the death penalty, anyway. If everyone involved here weren't a public figure, Harris' accusation, as well as the Five's legal filing, and every Times story for the past decade mentioning the ad, would all be defamatory, too.

But let's look at these darlings (Rumor has it that a loon in California wished family members were like these boys). Why did they confess? Why did one of them claim that he wasn't part of the rape, just filled her out.

Why did the boys' parents to go along with videotaping their sons as they confessed -- falsely, they now claim -- to the rape of the jogger, in addition to vicious attacks on bicyclists, joggers and other park-goers?

This from Unsafe.

     As long as the detectives were making up confessions anyway, why not have the youths forthrightly admit to raping the jogger? Instead, all five readily admitted to the other crimes, but each of them minimized their role in the rape, as is typical for suspects in sex crimes cases.  They confessed — to the police, to detectives and to their friends and acquaintances -- only to fondling or restraining the jogger while others raped her.

And if there's a civil trial? Subpoenas will also have to go out to the other 30 or so youths in the park that night because so many of them implicated members of the Five in both the beatdowns and the rape -- such as overhearing a couple of them laughingly say they "made a woman bleed."
