To reflect what a piece of shit she is for railroading the Central Park Five. It's darkly funny. No doubt because of the great new Netflix series on the subject.

Oof...
[quote]Fairstein assisted District Attorney Vance in his decision not to prosecute Dominique Strauss-Kahn for sexual assault in 2012. Fairstein's writing skills came into play in writing up the declination or decision not to charge.[30]
Ach...
[quote]. In a lawsuit the five who were convicted claimed that Fairstein, with the assistance of the detectives at the 20th Precinct, coerced false confessions from the five arrested teenagers following up to thirty straight hours of interrogation and intimidation, of both the youths and their supporting adults.[14] When US attorney David Nocenti, a "Big Brother" mentor to Yusef Salaam, one of the defendants, appeared at the precinct while the defendant was being grilled, plaintiffs claimed, Fairstein verbally abused him, demanded he leave immediately, then called her husband to demand the home number of Nocenti's then boss, Brooklyn US Attorney Andrew Maloney, so she could get the young attorney fired.[14][15]
What a whore.

Is the Netflix serial drama any good? I feel that I know so much about this case, and am not really motivated to watch it.
Should I?

Definitely worth watching R3 but it is horrifying and heartbreaking — especially seeing what happened to Kory Wise, the only one of the five who was convicted as an adult (he was 16).

Despite all the evidence to the contrary and the legal vindication of the Central Park Five, she STILL maintains they were involved

Linda doubled down on the writer of the show

I am amazed Linda Fairstein was going to receive a special Edgar award. I have read two of her Alexandra Cooper books and they are awful, especially her earth blue-collar lover/cop and his cowtowing black side kick.

A reminder that prosecutors and the “justice” system are broken and unconcerned with actual justic. Prosecutors like her and Giuliani only want to “win” and don’t give a shit about people. Truly heinous, sick people. The only way to protect yourself against them is money. Unless you can hire and pay for a good lawyer, you’re screwed.

What an asshole she is at R6. No one would be criticizing her if she went after these boys for something they had actually done. For a prosecutor of all people to try and justify going after someone for a crime they didn't commit by claiming they did OTHER stuff is slam dunk evidence of the rot in our criminal justice system.

And she lies in her WSJ op-ed. As the Times reports:
In what she called “the film’s most egregious falsehoods,” she noted that the series depicts the teenagers as being held without food and their parents as not always being present during questioning. “If that had been true, surely they would have brought those issues up and prevailed in pretrial hearings on the voluntariness of their statements, as well as in their lawsuit against the city,” Ms. Fairstein wrote. “They didn’t, because it never happened.”
In fact, according to a 2003 report on the investigation commissioned by the New York Police Department, the defendants did raise these issues in a pretrial hearing, though they did not prevail.
