Central Park Five members condemn Trump at DNC for calling for their execution
CBSN
Four members of the so-called Central Park Five were introduced at the Democratic convention by the Rev. Al Sharpton Thursday, who brought them on stage after saying that Donald Trump "a fellow New Yorker I've known for 40 years," took "a position on racial issues" just once in that time.
"He spent a small fortune on full-page ads calling for the execution of five innocent young teenagers," Sharpton said.
"Our youth was stolen from us," one of the exonerated five, Korey Wise, said. "Every day, as we walked into the courtroom, people screamed at us and threatened us because of Donald Trump. He spent $85,000 on a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for our execution. We were innocent kids. But, we served a total of 41 years in prison."
