An exonerated member of the Central Park Five released a one-word response to former President Donald Trump's indictment on Thursday.
New York City Council candidate Yusef Salaam called the ruling"karma" after news broke that a grand jury indicted Trump on charges related to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.Salaam was exonerated by a judge in 2002 in the 1989 rape of a 28-year-old jogger. Before the exoneration of Salaam and four other black and Latino men, the former president took out a one-page ad that called for the death penalty after the 1989 attack.
“In a country that's supposed to be innocent until proven guilty, they saw the color of our skin and said ‘guilty, guilty, guilty,’” Salaam said when announcing his city council bid last month. “It would have been OK if Donald Trump had taken out a full-page ad when we were found to be innocent.”Thursday's indictment marks the first time a former U.S.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg will likely attempt to negotiate for Trump's surrender to his office in the coming days. If Trump complies in accordance with the request, the former president would be photographed and fingerprinted in a New York state courthouse.
