The Central Park Five And Picking Cotton

The movie central park and Picking cotton, both tells a real life story of a woman being being brutally rape. Even though the documentary was about a rape in central park and picking was about about rape they both portray different situation of how the the rape occurred.In the documentary five black and Latino teenagers from Harlem were arrested and later convicted of raping a white woman in New York City's Central Park. They spent between 6 and 13 years in prison before a serial rapist confessed that he has committed the crime, in the same way In picking cotton Ronald cotton was accused of being a rapist and later he was found not guilty and eventually captured the person who raped Jennifer, likewise in the movie 5 teenagers were accused for raping Trisha Meili an investment banker, a female jogger, in New York City's Central Park, on April 19, 1989. The attack left her in a coma for 12 days and later a the person who committed the rape Matias Reyes confessed the crime. I also think the young teenagers were forced to say they had committed the crime due to police wanted to find the rapist so the has]d to confessed something because on the scene the stated they could not remembered what happened.
