From April 27–28, 1989, all five teens were indicted on counts including rape, assault, attempted murder and rioting. Wise, being 16, was charged as an adult and sent to Rikers Island prison in N.Y.C., and the remaining four were taken into juvenile facilities. The "Central Park Five," as the media dubbed them, maintained their innocence since that fateful night. Each served five to 13 years in prison until, in 2002, DNA evidence set them free. 1.
