In this episode, Tom and Chris discuss false confessions. How did the police get five teenaged boys to confess to raping a female jogger in Central Park in 1989? How did a jury find them guilty when there was no corroborating evidence? And how did they eventually find themselves exonerated? Also, check out our fancy new mics. We&apos;re getting there!  Show notes:<ul><li>When They See Us: Netflix</li><li>The Central Park Five: Ken Burns</li></ul>Disclaimer:<ul><li>We are bound to make mistakes. This show is more about the philosophy of defense than understanding the granular details of a case.</li><li>Nothing in this show should be interpreted as legal advice.</li></ul>
