The brutal assault put the 28-year-old white investment banker in a coma for 12 days. It was considered emblematic of New York City’s lawlessness in an era when the city recorded 2,000 murders a year.
," whose convictions in a notorious 1989 rape of a jogger were thrown out more than a decade later, had his conviction on a related charge overturned Monday.
Steven Lopez was exonerated in response to requests by both Lopez’s attorney and prosecutors. He was arrested along with five other Black and Latino teenagers in the rape and assault on Trisha Meili but reached a deal with prosecutors to plead guilty to the lesser charge of robbing a male jogger. Meili went public in 2003 and published a book titled “I Am the Central Park Jogger.” The brutal assault put the 28-year-old white investment banker in a coma for 12 days. It was considered emblematic of New York City's lawlessness in an era when the city recorded 2,000 murders a year.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg told a judge Monday that review of the case found that Lopez had pleaded guilty involuntarily “in the face of false statements” and under “immense external pressure.” Lopez was in court but didn’t speak.
