NPR interview with Raymond Santana of the Central Park 5- Exoneree Marty Tankleff speaks today in NY at Sarah Lawrence College
- Review of speech by exoneree Gary Drinkard at University of Alabama
- Four men who were cleared last year of the 1994 rape and murder of a woman in the Englewood neighborhood of Chicago are filing federal lawsuits claiming they were framed by police. “To these detectives, one young black man is as good as another,” said attorney G. Flint Taylor, of the People’s Law Office. WBBM Newsradio’s Mike Krauser reports the four men are filing federal lawsuits against the city, the Chicago Police Department, and Cook County prosecutors, alleging they were framed for the 1994 rape and murder of Nina Glover, despite the fact that no physical evidence linked them to the crime and DNA evidence taken from the victim exonerated them. The four — Michael Saunders, Harold Richardson, Terrill Swift, and Vincent Thames — were teenagers when they were convicted of Glover’s murder, ranging in age from 15 to 18 when they were arrested.
