Who was Carter's co-accused?

  • John Artis

  • James Smith

  • Robert Lee

  • Michael Johnson

Answer

Sure! John Artis, another of the Central Park Five (the group of five young men who were wrongly convicted of a rape in Central Park in 1989), was charged of the same crime as Carter. As teenagers of color, their false convictions highlighted significant flaws in the criminal justice system, and ultimately brought important conversations about issues such as race and injustice to the forefront.
