If you thought Linda Fairstein was the only person attached to the “Central Park five” conviction, guess again. The lead prosecutor just resigned from Columbia Law School.

The heat is on, and it’s seemingly torching everyone who was involved with the wrongful conviction of the five men portrayed in Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us. Linda Fairstein has felt the pressure from all angles. Now, it looks to be Elizabeth Lederer‘s turn. According to NBC News, she was the lead prosecutor on the case.

Columbia Law Dean Gillian Lester addressed the school’s community in a letter explaining Lederer’s resignation and departure.

“This afternoon, Elizabeth Lederer informed me that she will not seek reappointment as a part-time lecturer,” the dean mentions. Likewise, she continues by stating Elizabeth’s parting words in the letter.

“I’ve enjoyed my years teaching at CLS, and the opportunity it has given me to interact with the many fine students who elected to take my classes,” Lederer tells the dean. “However, given the nature of the recent publicity generated by the Netflix portrayal of the Central Park case, it is best for me not to renew my teaching application.”

Linda Fairstein, the former lead prosecutor in the infamous Central Park Five rape case is trying to save face, now that she’s been outed in Ava Duvernay’s new Netflix film, When They See Us. As a result of the facts being brought to light regarding Fairstein’s role in having 5 male teens- 4 African Americans and 1 Puerto Rican- wrongly prosecuted, she’s catching all kinds of hell.

She has also just been forced outta her position in a nonprofit organization that she’s been a part of for 20 years. In other words, ol’ girl has just learned that karma does not have a time limit.

In 1989 Linda Fairstein headed the Manhattan D.A.’s Sex Crimes Unit, which is also when she reportedly forced false confessions from the 5 teens she wrongly had convicted in the Central Park rape and assault case of Trisha Meili. The teens served 6 to 16 years for crimes they did not commit, before being exonerated of all charges in 2003.

Fairstein is currently a successful children’s book author (which is probably about to cease as well).
For nearly 20 years, she’s also served on the board of Safe Horizon nonprofit organization -which helps predominantly Black and Hispanic victims of abuse and violent crimes- until now.
