BLACKSBURG, Va. โ On Wednesday night, members of the Central Park Five visited Virginia Tech for a community discussion.
The group took the stage before a group of those young and old, telling their story of being railroaded by the justice system when they were still kids.
They call themselves the exonerated five now, but for years they went by the Central Park Five.
They were wrongfully convicted of a rape in New Yorkโs Central Park in the 90s, sent to jail on a built-up case.
The recent attention online from the Netflix series has brought many new eyes to the case, including those of people who werenโt alive when the original case happened.
