In this spellbinding account of the real facts of the Central Park jogger case, Sarah Burns powerfully reexamines one of New York City's most notorious crimes and its aftermath.

On April 20th, 1989, two passersby discovered the body of the "Central Park jogger" crumpled in a ravine. She'd been raped and severely beaten. Within days five black and Latino teenagers were apprehended, all five confessing to the crime. The staggering torrent of media coverage that ensued, coupled with fierce public outcry, exposed the deep-seated race and class divisions in New York City at the time. The minors were tried and convicted as adults despite no evidence linking them to the victim. Over a decade later, when DNA tests connected serial rapist Matias Reyes to the crime, the government, law enforcement, social institutions and media of New York were exposed as having undermined the individuals they were designed to protect. Here, Sarah Burns recounts this historic case for the first time since the young men's convictions were overturned, telling, at last, the full story of one of New York's most legendary crimes.

Not for small animals
I bought these for my ferret and even though it’s hard for her to pick up, they’re so cute and soft.

Squeaker Shenanigans!
I have four large dogs - 65-70 lbs, pittie babies. Three out of four love, love, LOVE squeaker toys. You can't keep a squeaker toy in my house to save your life. If it squeaks, it dies a quick squeaker death. We generally buy squeak toys at the Dollar Store. My going theory on toys is it has to last one minute per dollar I spend on it. Then I call it "worth the money." Right now, it is winter and where I live, so very cold. My kids can't get all their energy out by being outside, so we have to come up with creative indoor fun. I like these types of packs of toys, one for the value and two the quantity. I put all the toys in a box, and then my kids get to come up and pick one out of the box - they then run off for the squeaker toy of destruction fun! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Death. One kids goes right to hunting for where the squeaker is inside the toy, and the hunkers down to figure out how to get it out and kill it. She is usually the 60 seconds or less, 1st Place Squeaker Death Winner. The other two, will take their time and enjoy the squeaks and work the squeaker out until death finally takes it. My 70 lb boy, is kind of a baby, and after he neatly gets his squeaker out, he makes the toy his baby, and then carries it around proudly. Considering how large my kids are, these are well made and take the full minute for Squeaker of Death girl to get the squeaker out. The size is great, even for my larger dogs. I got nine toys for about $12 at the time of this purchase, and it was perfect. It did come with the storage bag...but not something that is necessary in this house. Although, it was actually quite nice, and I am sure I can use for something else. The Sun was a big hit, and despite not having its squeaker anymore, is still hanging around, days later. I will be buying this pack again.
