The Duke Lacrosse Players and The Central Park Jogger

When I learned that all charges have been dropped against the Duke Lacrosse players, the one thing that keep coming up in my mind is the Central Park Jogger case. In the Duke case, three rich white young men were accused of raping a poor black woman. In the Central Park case, five poor black young men were accused of raping and beating a rich white woman. The Central Park five were convicted and sent to jail. But a judge later threw out the convictions after a convicted serial rapist and murderer told New York prison officials that he alone raped the jogger. DNA testing confirmed his story. I wonder if the outcome of either case would still be the same if the race and social standing of the accused and victim were reversed. Would the lacrosse players suffer the same fate as the Central Park five had they been poor black young men and the victim they were accused of raping a rich white woman? Would the Central Park five been wrongfully convicted had they been rich white young man and the victim a poor black woman?
