'Central Park Five' member on his historic city council race
In 1989, Yusef Salaam was one of five teenagers arrested and wrongly imprisoned after the brutal rape of a jogger in New York’s Central Park. They were exonerated in 2002 when DNA evidence linked another person to the crime. Now, some three decades later, Salaam has declared victory in a race for a New York City Council seat. Salaam joined Geoff Bennett to discuss the win.
