When They See Us - Part 2
Six months have passed since Kevin, Raymond, Antron, Yusef, and Korey were arrested. There is lots of attention paid to the case by the news media, locally and nationally. Donald Trump calls for the death penalty to be reinstated.
The parents of all five of the teens hire lawyers. Antron and Yusef's parents are able pay bail. Kevin, Raymond, and Korey have to stay behind bars leading up to and during the trial. Antron's father has trouble accepting the reality of the situation. He disappears for a while.
The case gets split. Kevin and Korey are tried in one case. Antron, Raymond, and Yusef are tried in another case. The prosecution's case is weak. There is no physical evidence that connects the five defendants. The victim has no memory of that night. Witnesses for the prosecution, mostly police officers, give conflicting testimony.
It looks like the five teens might have a chance but when the verdict is read they are all found guilty.
Thoughts
This was a tougher episode to watch than the previous one. It was much clearer what was going on. It wasn't hard to see where it was all going. I wasn't sure exactly where this installment would end but it wasn't surprising when it stopped where it did.
