98. Central Park Jogger 1: Do you know your right to silence?
It鈥檚 1989 in New York. Trisha Meili is attacked in Central Park and five teenagers confess to the crime. But none of them did it.
It鈥檚 9pm in New York City. More than thirty young men have gathered on the corner of 110th Street and 5th Avenue. They are attacking innocent people in Central Park. What they don鈥檛 know is that a woman will also be sexually assaulted, and that five of their friends will be convicted for a brutal crime they didn鈥檛 commit. The Central Park Five falsely confess on video to police.
In this episode of Bad People, hosts Dr Julia Shaw and Sofie Hagen explore how well we know our right to silence, how much it is influenced by what we see on TV. They also ask: when does silence look like guilt?
