Six members of New York's City Council are recommending that the convictions of the five youths in the Central Park Jogger case be overturned. The council members say the conviction should be overturned because of new evidence casting doubt on the guilty verdicts. They emphasize that their recommendation is not based on a "legal technicality," which is the reason DA Morgantheu has put out in the media as the reason he might agree to the reversal.
