Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is facing another defamation lawsuit after he described the exonerated Central Park Five as killers.
Known widely as the Central Park Five, the defendants spent between five and 13 years in prison before they were cleared in 2002 based on new DNA evidence and the confession of another person. Trump, the Republican nominee for the White House, falsely said at the 10 September debate with Democrat Kamala Harris that the Central Park Five had killed a person and pleaded guilty.
" "Trump's conduct at the September 10 debate was extreme and outrageous, and it was intended to cause severe emotional distress" — the lawsuit against Trump on behalf of the Central Park Five stated. Trump has drawn much criticism in the past over his statements about the Central Park Five.
