Both Trump and the Manhattan DA who may soon indict him found their lives impacted by the infamous Central Park Jogger Case that led to the wrongful convictions of Black and Latino men
For Both Donald Trump and Alvin Bragg, the Central Park Jogger Case Was a Turning PointLeft: Seth Wenig—AP; Right: Scott Eisen/Getty ImagesAlvin Bragg and Donald Trump are on the verge of an epic legal clash.
But while the looming courtroom showdown may be the first head-to-head collision between the two New Yorkers, it’s not the first time they have been on the opposite side of a combustible nationally-charged issue. Both men’s trajectories, in fact, were shaped in part by the same event more than 30 years ago: the Central Park Jogger Case.
It’s a story that goes back to April 1989, when New York City was the epicenter of a historic country-wide crime wave, beset with more than 2,000 murders a year. Less than two weeks after the attack that made national headlines, Trump, who was a regular subject of intrigue in the local tabloids, took out full-page ads in four New York newspapers, including, advocating for the return of capital punishment.
