Justice in America: A Fireside Conversation

Justice in America: A Conversation on the Exonerated Five and Criminal Justice Reform
Hosted by Dechert's Black Lawyers Alliance 

This program featured a virtual conversation on human dignity and criminal justice reform in America with Kevin Richardson, a member of the Exonerated Five, also known as the “Central Park Five,” in recognition of Dechert’s commitment to fighting systemic racism. 

Kevin Richardson was one of five African American and Latino teenagers coerced into providing false confessions and wrongly convicted in 1990 in the widely publicized Central Park jogger case. Just 14 years old, Kevin was sentenced to five to ten years in prison. In 2002, after another suspect confessed to the attack, attorney Michael Warren successfully fought to have Kevin and two of the other young men exonerated. The convictions were vacated in 2014. Today, Kevin is a staunch advocate for criminal justice reform.
