Police and prosecutors who worked the case, including Linda Fairstein, former chief of the district attorney's sex-crimes unit, concede that the DNA evidence proves Reyes raped the jogger, whose identity is still being shielded, though she will reveal it when she publishes a book about her experience next year. But Fairstein continues to insist that the new evidence "does not exonerate the other five, who by their own admissions participated in her attack by holding her down and striking her to the ground." Reyes, now 31, said he was moved to admit his guilt after witnessing the hard time Wise was having in prison. Reyes' harrowing account of how he tracked his victim, felled her and then subdued her again after she tried to escape half naked has forced an entire city to relive that time--and to rue the miscarriage of justice that may have been as horrible as the crime that caused it.
