Central Park jogger case — including Raymond Santana, a co-author of this column — to the dissemination of an online petition demanding professional accountability against the prosecutor who helped put them there. It was a simple task to discover [prosecutor] Elizabeth Lederer on Google, just as those boys were easy to find in the park, Dwyer writes. The petition has found someone to blame, repeating the very mistake of the injustice it deplores.

Who needs justice when you have a good patsy?

Of course the prosecutor who wrongfully sent five innocent people to prison for 30 years should be punished. In the very least, she should have to spend (30 x 5) years in prison, or the rest of her life. Even then, she's getting off easily.

The judge and jury responsible should also be held accountable. Do this and the phrase "reasonable doubt" will finally have meaning.

The fact that no one has been prosecuted for this travesty of justice and that the victims still have received no compensation is an utterly shameful and despicable. Until this is rectified, America is no more "the greatest country ever", "the land of free", or the "home of the brave" by any standard.
