1. Exoneration

1.1. (Matias Reyes, a convicted murderer and rapist, admitted that he alone was responsible for the attack on the Central Park jogger. Reyes had already committed another rape near Central Park days earlier in 1989, attacking the victim in the same manner).(TNRE)

1.2. Korey Wise was exonerated in 2006 after the real Suspect 'Matias Reyes' confessed to the Crime after 13 years. Reyes had committed multiple other rapes before this one, NYPD retraced all of the DNA evidence back to Reyes and found out that 2 prosecutors were lying about the case and forcing fake forensics on Korey.

2. Original Trial

2.1. "The teenager was initially sent to Rikers Island, the infamous New York City jail. And as is shown in the fourth and final episode of When They See Us, it was a rough time for him: Just a kid thrust into a group of adult criminals, Korey was subject to great violence and abuse during his time there and in other federal prisons. He also spent several long periods of his incarceration locked away in solitary confinement."(Finn)

2.2. Kory Wise was set to be in prison for 15 years. He was at Rikers Island and was one of the youngest people there, he was getting abused by all the other inmates for the rape that he did not commit, out of the other 4 boys that were in his trial he was the only one to be in a Federal Prison.
