“CP 5” Member on Solo Tour to Grand Rapids Thursday
GRA: Note the description of the group as having been “exonerated.”

Korey Wise was in West Michigan Thursday to help the Greater Grand Rapids Branch of the NAACP celebrate its centennial.
He said he tries to stay out of the limelight as much as possible, however he realizes his life experience means a lot to many.
“Stay out of trouble world,” Wise said. “Slow down from your fast pace of life.”
Prosecutors secured the convictions of Wise, Yusef Salaam, Antron McCray, Raymond Santana, and Kevin Richardson after Trisha Meili was raped and found brutally beaten after she went for a jog in New York’s Central Park.
Police quickly focused on the five teenagers, who were in the park that night. CBS News reported that during the incident, media reports described the group as a “wolf pack,” who had committed muggings. Police arrested the five teenagers, charging them with attempted murder, rape and assault.
It wasn't until 2002 that a judge vacated their convictions when Matias Reyes, another man already in prison, admitted he was the man who raped Meili.
[Irrelevant red herring. The police and prosecutors learned prior to the rapists’ 1990 trials, and announced at said trials, that the sperm they found on the victim’s socks and in her cervix was not from any of the five.]
Greater Grand Rapids NAACP President Cle Jackson said Thursday Wise’s story serves as a reminder of the injustices some people still face today.
[People like Trisha Meili, and the overwhelmingly white and Asian taxpayers of New York City, who were robbed by racist, communist Mayor Bill de Blasio, in order to fatten the rapists’ wallets. Under diversity, crime pays.]
“Especially when it comes to black, and brown, and poor white people,” Jackson said.
Wise said he has found himself thrust back into the spotlight since the release of the Netflix series “When They See Us,” which portrays [fictionalizes] the experiences of the Central Park Five.
“I’m just glad to be in my 40s right now, being able to see it, and I know how to keep myself grounded,” Wise said.
New York City reached a roughly $41 million settlement with the five in 2014 without admitting wrongdoing [GRA: That would keep a lot of people grounded. Question: Where does NYC get all these millions to pay CP 5 and the Garner famblee—and I’m sure other negroes?)
Wise answered with a short reply when asked what his life has been like since prison, being exonerated (GRA: By Lesta Holt, Oprah and Duvernay—
not by the justice system) and having his story portrayed in a series on Netflix.
“It's life after death, that's all,” he said.
GRA: Two points—in what way would Trisha Meilli describe how life has been like—after being gangraped—and years later, seeing her attackers become celebrities, hitting the black lottery and cashing in on a miniseries that declared them innocent?
Secondly, you notice, whoever wrote this article for WWMT is echoing the HOD (Holt/Oprah/Duvernay) revised history. Many readers, seeing this story, will view it that way too. “Ohh, they were wrongly convicted, Gertrude.”
“I know Charlie, it’s horrible.”
And now these thugs are rich beyond their dreams—while Meili has... what?
Only in (the new, pro-black) America.

At least in Chicago the city has insurance to pay for all these settlement. So many settlement for big bucks in Chicago the insurance companies told the city they were not going to pay for court costs anymore.
I feel sick when I read that five rapists were paid to torture a woman nearly to death. What the hell is right about that?
