"When they see us"
This case is about a jogger who was "assaulted" but 5 boys were accused of the crime because they were nearby the scene. They ended up being guilty and had to do time of which the crime they didn't commit. They were tried for two trials and was accused for "rape". One of them was 16 years old but got worse sentencing than all the 4 boys and got sent to adult prison because he was at the "age", but the other 4 boys had less worse sentencing because they were "younger". Long story short, a few years later they were still behind bars, but the guy who committed the crime finally confessed because he felt "bad" because someone else was doing time for the crime that he did. At the end the 5 boys were rewarded with $41 million.

It was really heartbreaking watching this series. I think it was terrible for the prosecution to not look into similar cases in the area because they had convicted the actual rapist with an identical MO for other cases. The NYPD was clearly being racist and just wanted to convict someone in order to make their lives easy, and the 5 boys just so happened to be in the park that night. Even though they were rewarded with a lot of money, I don't think justice was served. After coming out of jail, the boys had a very difficult time finding jobs and the public looked down on them very negatively. The boys will never get back the time they lost while serving jail time, especially Korey who served the most and was portrayed having the hardest time in prison.
