"Members of the “Central Park Five” sued former President Donald Trump on Monday over “false and defamatory” statements they allege he made about their 1989 case during a presidential debate last month.

The five men claim in a federal lawsuit that Trump knew he was acting with “reckless disregard” for the truth when he said during the September debate with Vice President Kamala Harris that they pleaded guilty to crimes connected to the beating and raping a woman in New York City, and that the five teenagers “badly hurt a person, killed a person” in the attack.

“Defendant Trump’s statements were false and defamatory in numerous respects,” attorneys for the men, now all in their 50s, wrote in the lawsuit filed in federal court in Philadelphia. “Plaintiffs never pled guilty to the Central Park assaults. Plaintiffs all pled not guilty and maintained their innocence throughout their trial and incarceration, as well as after they were released from prison.”

Trumps supposed lies in September of this year led to them going to prison? Or is this just more of you whiners punishing people for saying things you don't like?
 
good luck proving malice

"sorry your honor - I was wrong when I thought they plead guilty. Now I see that they merely confessed to their guilt - and later retracted it - which was in the media constantly"

Trump's problem though - to make this an open and shut case, he really should admit he was wrong about the facts and has no malice
 
People who have been convicted of terrible crimes cannot be defamed by saying they were convicted of terrible crimes.

People who have been cleared of terrible crimes can be defamed by saying they were guilty even though they proved themselves innocent.

They got a good chance against trump.
