Korey Wise Full Confession Central Park 5
This is Korey Wise's statement that he
gave on April 21, 1989 regarding the
Central Park assaults that unfolded on the
night of April 19. The reason that Korey
Wise's confession is almost two hours long
is because it's separated into two parts.
After finishing the first videotaped
interview with Assistant DA Elizabeth
Lederer, he asks to speak with her again.
He says that the original confession he
gave a little over an hour earlier was a
lie because he was trying to "play
innocent." When asked, he says that the
detectives didn't tell him to change his
statement, but it's hard to imagine he
requested the second interview entirely
out of his own volition. In comparing the
two, it is clear that the first statement
is much more inconsistent than the second,
as he was clearly trying not to implicate
himself.
