A federal judge told New York City Tuesday it has no right to the outtakes from Ken Burns' documentary "The Central Park Five," the film about five men who were unjustly convicted and sent to prison for attacking an investment banker in the park in 1989.

The city subpoenaed the unused footage and other materials in the course of defending itself against multimillion-dollar civil suits by the men after their convictions in the case were thrown out in 2002, contending that the filmmaking team of Ken and Sarah Burns had an agenda partial to the plaintiffs and should not be covered by the journalists' shield law.
