Raymond Santana, one of the wrongly convicted Central Park Fives, celebrates after a federal judge shut down an attempt by President Donald Trump to abandon the honour-loss lawsuit filed against him.
TMZ caught up with Raymond in Harlem, New York this week. He revealed that Trump was major and full on their side when he ran a full-page newspaper ad in 1989 to call for execution.
Catch the clip – Raymond reveals that Trump has shown zero regret over the years, and even doubles the supposed guilt, just like the 2024 presidential debate with Kamala Harris.
Central Park Five was accused of raping a female jogger in New York in 1989. They were found guilty at a ju trial, but they never pleaded guilty. In 2002, their convictions were vacated after others confessed their crimes.
During the 2024 presidential debate, Trump said the men pleaded guilty and said they justified the execution and they justified the execution. No one died in the attack in 1989.
Raymond is sure the courts haven’t bought Trump’s BS – and he is sure they have a solid case. He says he is ready to face their accusers and they deserve less.

Raymond, now known as “Exemptation 5,” along with Yousef Salaam, Kevin Richardson, Antron Brown and Coray Wise, is suing Trump for defamation and deliberate violations of emotional distress. They seek both compensatory and punitive damages.
But what is the main thing Raymond is trying to get out of all this? He won’t miss the beat – watch the video.
