Will the WM3 be set free soon?

Seems like the case is heating up. Terry Hobbes looks guilty as hell. John Mark Byers and Pamela Hobbes have now joined the wm3 supporter ranks, and its rumored Brad Pitt will be JMB in a movie about the case. Natalie Maines has now joined the supporters as well.

Plus we have the Larry King interview from a few days ago.

Does anyone think we are closer to freeing them than we ever have been?

Why doesnt anyone mention Huckabees lack of leadership on this issue either on tv, the net, on this website etc... He could set them free.

The fact that no-nothing, go-with-the-trends celebrities join a cause does not mean much.

Perhaps they'll get a new trial soon.

No disrespect but that is BS. It means a ton of media which shakes the world of the people that decide on these issues. You are right in that it won't change the mind of the average joe, but you miss the bigger point, it's the spotlight, celebrities have it. Free media attention worth millions of dollars. I volunteer and market for a local activist group. Nothing is more valuable than having a major celeb as a spokesperson. It's not that they change people's minds. For the most part they don't and it is subtle. It's the spotlight. Those that are already sympathetic to that issue are reminded of it and many will call, email, rally, etc. I wish more celebs would really get honest and do their homework and really back things that count. To often it is for their careers and for groups they perceive as doing good work while it's not always the case. Freeing innocent kids of a crime they are most likely 99.99% chance at this point that they are innocent is a great cause. It will make a difference. I want to see them free, it's the right thing to do.

To me, the one piece of information that leads me to believe in their innocence is that the semi-retarded person was subjected to 14 hours of interrogation before confessing.

That style of police interrogation, which is known as "marathon" interrogation, is actually banned in some states and is known to coerce confessions out of people with normal IQ's and who were actually later found innocent.

In fact, it would be really unusual for a person with such a low IQ to withstand 14 hours of interrogation without confessing if he were in fact guilty of those crimes. The fact that he sat there and held his tongue for so long, to me, is overwhelming evidence that when he finally did confess, he was simpy talking out of his ass to please whoever it was that was doing the interrogating.
