They were inconsistent and obtained after hours of interrogation involving ruses and (the suspects claim) threats. There was no forensic evidence to tie the five to the crime, and the police knew that the DNA evidence was from one person only.<br /><br />Steven Pagones (the Dutchess county ADA involved in the Tawana Brawley case) never confessed. Of course, he was never charged. In fact, he was exonerated by a grand jury. The only charges were the unsubstantiated claims of Brawley, Sharprton, Maddox, and Mason, all of whom ended up paying judgments resulting from Pagones' successful defamation suit against them.<br /><br />Pagones says that the charges roiled his life and cost him his marriage. Then Central Park Five all completed prison sentences for crimes they didn't commit.<br />deadratnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-1044323018132845332014-12-11T19:00:05.335-05:002014-12-11T19:00:05.335-05:00Seeing is believing.
