  • Korey Wise (born Kharey Wise, July 26, 1972) is an American activist who travels the United States advocating for criminal justice reform. Wise shares his stories of being wrongfully convicted in the Central Park jogger case (along with Raymond Santana Jr., Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray, and Yusef Salaam) for the attack on Trisha Meili, a 28-year-old woman who was jogging in Central Park, as well as attacks on eight other people on the night of April 19, 1989. Wise spent approximately 14 years incarcerated, maintaining his innocence from 1989 until he was exonerated in 2002. At 16 years old, Wise was the oldest of the so-called "Central Park Five", and was the only one of the five to serve all his time in the adult prison system. He was not a suspect in any of the crimes initially, and freely accompanied his friend to the police station. Once there, however, detectives decided to interrogate him about the rape of Meili, despite his name not originally being on the list of suspects. In 2015, Wise donated $190,000 to the University of Colorado Law School Innocence Project, which was renamed the Korey Wise Innocence Project. In 2019, the story was dramatized and released as a four-episode miniseries on Netflix entitled When They See Us. Actor Jharrel Jerome won the 2019 Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie for his portrayal of Wise. In July 2019, Wise purchased a condominium overlooking Central Park. He is the only one of the five who chose to continue to reside in New York City after his release. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Wise helped provide sustenance to senior residents in Harlem. (en)
  • Korey Wise (26 de julho de 1972) é um ativista norte-americano que viaja pelos Estados Unidos defendendo a reforma da justiça criminal. Wise compartilha suas histórias de ser injustamente condenado no caso da corredora do Central Park (junto com Raymond Santana Jr., Kevin Richardson, Antron McCray e Yusef Salaam) pelo ataque a Trisha Meili, uma mulher branca de 28 anos que praticava corrida no Central Park, bem como ataques a outras oito pessoas na noite de 19 de abril de 1989. Wise passou aproximadamente 13 anos preso, mantendo sua inocência de 1989 até ser inocentado em 2002. Aos 16 anos, Wise era o mais velho dos chamados "Cinco do Central Park" e o único dos cinco a cumprir toda a sua pena no sistema prisional de adultos. Em seus anos de cárcere ele foi espancado por outros presos, taxado de estuprador e chantageado por policiais. Passou anos tendo alucinações dentro de uma solitária. Ele não era suspeito de nenhum dos crimes inicialmente, e acompanhou livremente seu amigo até a delegacia. Uma vez lá, porém, os detetives decidiram interrogá-lo e conectá-lo ao estupro de Meili, apesar de seu nome não constar originalmente da lista de suspeitos. Em 2015, Wise doou US$ 190.000 para o Projeto de Inocência da Faculdade de Direito da Universidade do Colorado, que foi renomeado como Projeto de Inocência Korey Wise. Em 2019, a história foi dramatizada e lançada como uma minissérie de quatro episódios na Netflix intitulada When They See Us (no Brasil, Olhos que Condenam). O ator Jharrel Jerome ganhou o Prêmio Emmy de melhor ator em minissérie ou telefilme por sua interpretação de Wise. Em julho de 2019, Wise comprou um condomínio com vista para o Central Park. Ele é o único dos cinco que escolheu continuar residindo na cidade de Nova York após sua libertação. Durante a pandemia COVID-19, Wise ajudou a fornecer sustento aos residentes mais velhos do Harlem.
