Jami Floyd, host of WNYC's All Things Considered and legal analyst, and Jim Dwyer, author of the New York Times "About New York" column and of (the interactive iBook from 2014) False Conviction: Innocence, Guilt and Science, discuss the attack in Central Park 30 years ago Friday – the arrest and conviction of 5 young men whose convictions were vacated in 2002 after another man confessed to the crime and DNA evidence supported his claim – and what the case shows about race and criminal justice in NYC, then and now.
