Did two innocent men just get “exonerated,” or did two murderers just join the false exoneration club? Liberal Lachlan Murdoch’s new york post doesn’t even try to sound like a real newspaper, as it acts as the pr agent for two killers

Did two innocent men just get “exonerated,” or did two murderers just join the false exoneration club? Liberal Lachlan Murdoch’s new york post doesn’t even try to sound like a real newspaper, as it acts as the pr agent for two killers.

“duo exonerated [sic] in brutal 1994 nyc murder — after they wrongly served decades in prison: ‘cannot undo the past’”

By Mikella Schuettler, Reuven Fenton and Matt Troutman

“Better late than never.

“Two wrongly accused men were exonerated [sic] Thursday in a brutal 1994 murder in harlem – after they both served decades behind bars.

“Charles Collins, 49, and Brian Boles, 48, embraced their attorneys when a manhattan judge vacated their convictions….”

[N.S.: Where was the evidentiary hearing that is required, before convictions can be vacated? Where was the re-trial that is required, before convicts can be exonerated? This was not even a legal vacating of the convictions, just as the convictions of the six members of the “central park five” were not legally vacated. Why do I say “six”? Because after the legally convicted attackers whose supporters converted the case from that of the Central Park Jogger to that of the so-called “central park five”—Yusuf Salaam, Raymond Santana, Kevin Richardson, Kharey/Khorey Wise and Antron McCray got their convictions illegally vacated, the conviction of suspect Steven Lopez, who pled guilty to a different crime that night, was also illegally vacated. That leaves six more suspects whose convictions may be illegally vacated, or who were never charged: Michael Briscoe, Clarence Thomas, the late Lamont McCall, Jomo Smith, Antonio Montalvo and Matias Reyes.]

“The emotional scene came after the innocence project and manhattan district attorney’s investigators found dna evidence that cast doubt on whether Boles and Collins murdered 85-year-old James Reid.”

[The innocence project (I call it the guilt project) and manhattan da Alvin Bragg have zero credibility in my book. They are both fanatical supporters of black cut-throats.]

“Boles eventually confessed, which in turn prompted Collins to do the same.”

[One suspect confessing does not “prompt” a second suspect to also confess.]

“The pressures of interrogation — including many outright lies — faced by the two young men needed to be understood, said Jane Pucher, an attorney who represented Boles for the innocence project.”

[She’s acting as though the detectives engaged in misconduct, which is SOP for supporters of black criminals. The fact that the U.S. supreme court has ruled that the cops are permitted to lie to criminal suspects was left out of the post’s “thing” by operatives Mikella Schuettler, Reuven Fenton and Matt Troutman.]

“When you’re being lied to, when you’re 17 years old, interrogated for two days straight, threatened without sleep, and then given a narrative to repeat back and told, ‘You’re not gonna go home unless you do this,’ there’s every pressure in the world for people to confess,” she said.

[That is the standard script of lies since the lawful convictions of five of the attackers who beat Trisha Meili, “the central park jogger,” almost to death in 1989. They were not interrogated ‘round the clock for two days, and neither were these mopes.]

“‘There have been countless false confession cases [liar] nationally and in New York itself, especially when you have vulnerable [English translation: black] defendants like Mr. Boles and Mr. Collins.’”

[If you asked Jane Pucher for examples of “false confession cases” in New York, the first example she would give would be of the guilty-as-hell attackers of the central park jogger, Trisha Meili.]

The “thing” also asserts that the innocence project and the manhattan da’s office both found dna evidence that came from neither of the two defendants. First of all, since when does the innocence project get involved in evidence collection? It has a terrible history of “finding” evidence in case folders that its activists put in those folders. Secondly, even if the dna material under the victim’s fingernails really were from someone beyond the two convicts, that would not prove the innocence of the two confessed killers. The logic in play here is the same as that abused by supporters of the attackers of the Central Park Jogger, Trisha Meili, who have asserted that the semen from Matias Reyes somehow proved that the five attackers who confessed and were convicted of their crimes were somehow innocent. (I am told that only four of the attackers confessed, although Yusuf Salaam, who bragged of hitting Meili in the head and ribs with a pipe, which caused her to lose over 70% of her blood (“It was fun”) only “admitted” to the attack, a distinction without any difference to this old assembly-line worker.)

post operatives Mikella Schuettler, Reuven Fenton and Matt Troutman did not even feign to have sought out a statement from relatives of 1994 murder victim James Reid, 85, or from the new york city police department, and the "thing" carries no photo of the victim, but big photos of the killers and their accessories (manhattan da Alvin Bragg, the guilt project liar, et al).

And now the beneficiaries of yet another fake exoneration will get a windfall of tens of millions of dollars.

One post commenter, Paladin, got away with saying “Both guilty as sin, but some America hating, self-hating, woke white bleeding hearts, were willing to sell their soul, to free them.”

ttyler5 wrote, “The Manhattan DA has absolutely NO CREDIBILITY, ZERO. This is likely just another FAKE publicity stunt, like his prosecution of Trump.”

I could have sworn I saw a comment saying that post operatives Mikella Schuettler, Reuven Fenton and Matt Troutman were acting as the defense’s pr operatives, but it’s not there now. Well, I’ll say it!

For colored criminals, crime pays.
