On May 1, 1989, Donald Trump took out ads in New York City newspapers. In these ads, he said that the death penalty should be used again and called for the five suspects to be executed. Back then, the state of New York had stopped executing people.
The Supreme Court said in 1977 during the "Coker v. Georgia" case that people cannot be executed for committing rape. They knew that false rape accusations were used to kill black men or put them in jail.
The convictions of the five suspects were vacated after it was revealed that they were forced to confess.
Also, another man was identified as the rapist. His name was Matias Reyes.
The five men who were convicted sued the city. They got $40 million dollars in all, $1 million for each year they were behind bars. Trump said that the city should not have given them money and that the men didn't have "the pasts of angels."
Trisha Meili wrote a book about her experiences. It is called "I Am the Central Park Jogger". She is now an inspirational speaker. She talks about sexual assault and brain injury.

It has been claimed that the newspaper ads made Trump look racist. Trump is white, while the suspects were Black and Latino.

Trump is now the President of the United States. As of July 2020, he has never apologized for the newspaper ads.
