April 19th: Matias Reyes Attacks Trisha Meili (1989)

When someone gets away with a crime, where does the blame go? On April 19th 1989 a woman was brutally attacked while on a run. A crime for which the blame went to, not the man truly responsible, but a group of young people of color who, in the end, were completely innocent. Allowing a monster to walk freely and attack again and again and again.
