WHAT HAPPENED?
• At 1:30 in the morning on April 20, 1989, the body of a female jogger (later discovered to be Trisha Meili) was
found off a running trail in the northern part of Central Park, New York City
– She had been struck repeatedly on the head (skull fractured)
– Dragged through the woods
– Wrists bound to head
– Lost a lot of fluid
– Body temperature was extremely low
– “virtually dead”
“Not only would the evidence have likely led to a different verdict,
they wouldn’t have indicted the boys at all.”
