Trump Refuses to Apologize for Central Park Five Death Penalty Ad

President Donald Trump again declined to apologize for promoting false accusations against five black and Latino teenagers convicted and then later exonerated of the 1989 rape of a jogger in New York City.

Trump has long been attached to the case of the “Central Park Five” because he ran a full-page ad in the New York Times less than a month after the attack calling for New York to “bring back the death penalty” for violent criminals. He has never apologized for the ad.
