The Barnard Student Murder and the Central Park Five

Law enforcement officers search Morningside Park, Thursday, Dec. 12, 2019. An 18-year-old Barnard College freshman, identified as Tessa Majors, was fatally stabbed during an armed robbery in the park.

The co-hosts of the New York politics podcast “FAQ NYC,” Christina Greer, associate professor of political science at Fordham University, and Harry Siegel, New York Daily News columnist and Daily Beast senior editor, discuss how NYC institutions, from the NYPD to media news outlets, will approach the murder of Barnard College freshman Tessa Majors, the circumstances of which echo other past high-profile murder cases that were decades later revealed as poorly handled.
