Co-Defendant In Central Park Jogger Case Is Exonerated

The video discusses the recent court victory in New York City, where Stephen Lopez, part of the Central Park 5, had his conviction overturned. Lopez was arrested at 15 with five others for the 1989 Central Park jogger case. His conviction was nullified over a decade ago, and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg played a role in clearing his record. The video highlights that six individuals were falsely accused, not just the well-known five. The Exonerated 5 received a $40 million settlement, but Lopez has not received any compensation.
