John Siegal was a speech writer in 1990 for Mayor David Dinkins when five Harlem teens were convicted and sentenced to prison for raping a 28-year-old investment banker as she jogged in Central Park on the evening of April 19, 1989. Virtually the only evidence against the teens were their videotaped confessions.
