In life, we take the little moments for granted. We never think that we might be kissing our mothers for the last time, we never think that we might be sitting in class hating every moment of it but still getting our education for the last time, we never think that this moment where we are just being teens messing around and goofing off for the last time. The Exonerated five took those moments for granted.
April 19th, 1989 at approximately 9pm, a 28-year-old white woman was found beaten, raped, and unconscious. Trisha Meili. Trisha Meili was the woman who was used as a toy and left for dead. Meili was in a coma for 12 days, She suffered severe hypothermia, severe brain damage, hemorrhagic shock, loss of about 75-80% of her blood, and internal bleeding. Meili was so injured that the initial prognosis was that she would shortly die after being found or remain in a coma. As a result of Meili's trauma, she had no recollection of the attack or of any event up to an hour. She had no memory of 6 weeks following the attack.
Patricia Ellen Meili returned to work just 8 months after being brutally attacked by someone sinister.
The city of New York sought justice for Meili, they were blinded by the anger of what was done to her and 7 other women. They were so blinded that they so unjustly made sure Justice was served, even at the expense of five young men's youth, sanity, and faith.
