Many accounts reported the incident as an example of “wilding”-episodes of poor, minority youths roaming the streets looking for trouble. Police intent on immediate justice for the victim coerced five African-American and Latino boys to plead guilty. The teenage boys were quickly convicted and imprisoned. Natalie Byfield, who covered the case for the \u003ci\u003eNew York Daily News, \u003c\/i\u003enow revisits the story of the Central Park Five from her perspective as a black female reporter in \u003ci\u003eSavage Portrayals. \u003c\/i\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eByfield illuminates the race, class, and gender bias in the massive media coverage of the crime and the prosecution of the now-exonerated defendants.
