    What an intriguing turn of events. I hope this doesn't turn into a media circus.

    You make a good point. I guess I get tired of the general over-sensationalism which the media tends to delight in.

    Cases like this deserve a certain sensitivity and respect.

    Good reading for the skeptics:

    Not that I'm a skeptic, but THAT is a pretty good smackdown! I esp. liked this part!
    ...the State fails to provide any example of when DNA evidence could be dispositive of the identity of the killers and states in a footnote to its brief that it "believes that the forum the statute provides may well never yield relief due to confidence that the Arkansas criminal-justice system does not convict the innocent." We decline the invitation to interpret the statutes in this way because it would render them meaningless. ... This court will not interpret a statute to yield an absurd result.

    Was interesting, that part about whether the DNA evidence could ever yield a positive proof of innocence. Not sure I understood it completely, but were they broadly pointing out that the WM3 are in a kind of 'catch 22' if they have to 'prove their innocence' using DNA evidence? Sounds pretty critical for the terms of the hearing.... wish I understood it better!

    I've now spent three working days reading up on this case. The most mindboggling thing of it all is that Echols, Baldwin and Misskelley were considered the weird ones.

    Fathers sticking fingers up their kids' butt, sexual and physical abuse, shooting of relatives, heroine, coke, meth addictions... wow.

    Not taking a stance on guilt necessarily, it just seems odd that in such an environment you are weird because you dress in black and listen to Metallica.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    It's just so fucking mind blowing as to how innocent these 3 guys are and yet they are
    still incarcerated.
    Makes my stomach turn.

    Thanks for posting. I can't believe I've been following this since I was a teen and they're still locked up.
