Back in 1989, former prosecutor Linda Fairstein went to extraordinary lengths to try to RUIN the lives of the Central Park Five.

Now, Ava Duvernay’s new Netflix series “When They See Us” has put the spotlight back on her. She was once considered a hero, but what’s come out exposes Fairstein as a true villain.  

The Central Park Five served YEARS in prison for a crime they didn’t commit before, thanks to a confession and DNA evidence, their convictions were tossed.

Linda didn’t seem to mind, however! She was busy making money and enjoying her prestigious positions. But not anymore!

So far, Linda has lost positions with Vassar College’s board of trustees, Safe Horizon, God’s Love We Deliver and the Joyful Heart Foundation. She lost Glamour's 1993 Woman of the Year Award and people are petitioning her publishers, too!

Linda can’t accept responsibility for her own crimes. She’s even called the series “a basket of lies.” Funny enough, Ava Duvernay exposed her on that, too!

Duvernay told the Daily Beast that Linda “tried to negotiate” a say in “approvals over the script and some other things.”

Linda isn’t listening. Instead of dealing with the consequences of her actions, she’s doubling down. That’s too bad, because it’s looking like she’s going to be facing a guilty sentence of her own doing - no matter where she goes!
