Raymond Santana Full Confession Central Park 5
This is Raymond Santana's videotaped
statement that he gave to Assistant DA
Elizabeth Lederer on April 21, 1989, about
a day-and-a-half after the Central Park
assaults that included the rape of jogger
Trisha Meili. His father, Raymond Santana
Sr. (portrayed by John Leguizamo in
When They See Us), is present for
the confession. Along with the other
teens, Santana would later retract his
statement, claiming it was coerced. The
video confession is what led to his
conviction and imprisonment.
