The gentlewoman is absolutely correct. In 1989, he encouraged and celebrated the wrongful imprisonment of the Central Park Five and took out full-page ads in New York area newspapers calling for the return of the death penalty in response to a very infamous case in which a woman was beaten and raped while jogging in Manhattan's Central Park. Back then, before he was President, Donald Trump said: They should be forced to suffer, and when they kill, they should be executed for their crimes. I want these murderers and always will. Of course, there was a lot of public outrage over that case. It was very well talked about. It was on all the talk shows and what have you. Those men wrongfully spent time in prison because the DNA evidence exonerated them.
