One of the five men cleared of rape in the Central Park Jogger case said yesterday he’s confident that he’ll also be exonerated in his latest criminal case — in which he allegedly threw a brick at his girlfriend near the park last October.
“I’m always having flashbacks — it lives in me,” Kharey Wise, 40, said yesterday as he left Manhattan Criminal Court, where in 1989 he had been arraigned in the rape case.
Yesterday, during a routine court appearance in the October case, Wise learned that prosecutors are still working with his defense lawyer and interviewing additional witnesses.
“Hopefully, we won’t have a repeat of what happened last time,” said defense lawyer Jane Fisher-Byrialsen.
“There was no brick thrown,” she added. “Kharey was not even there.”
His next court date is May 30 for possible grand-jury action. He remains free on $1,500 bail.
