The comments from Mayor Ed Koch and Gov Mario Cuomo were disgusting. I never knew about that side of Koch.

I fully agree, but Koch's comments did not surprise me at all..unfortunately. If there is justice post life, we know he is burning right now as we write.

Sigh. How were the boys eventually exonerated? How did they know they finally got the right guy? Thanks.

Getting sick of having to play capt. obvious repeatedly in this thread.

The REAL rapist Matias Reyes confessed to it. Unfortunately, this was after the boys had already served their time.
