Related: About this forumMayor de Blasio: Central Park Five settlement necessary to correct 'injustice'
ERIN DURKIN
Mayor de Blasio said Monday the $40 million settlement with the Central Park Five was necessary to correct the injustice that was done to five men wrongly convicted of raping a female jogger.
An injustice was done. And we have a moral obligation to respond to that injustice, de Blasio said in his first comments since Thursdays deal. I think that the way we've proceeded was [with] an understanding that that had to be rectified, in a way that made sense and a way that was mindful and careful, but I think we're on the right track
