I watched a special investigation on that case recently - they made a very convincing case that these three kids were railroaded and were wrongly convicted. You'd have to see all the evidence and judge for yourself, but the need to convict anyone because of political pressure creates these situations quite often and once the police and prosecutors target someone, they often become extremely myopic and throw out any sense of justice in favor of a conviction.
What happened to the boys made me sick to my stomach. Thinking that they put the wrong people in prison for it made me almost as sick.
What is wrong with this country has more to do with the fact that we tend to jump to conclusions based on tabloid news without all the facts and not so much individual cases like this.

There are no guilty people in prison, they make pretty convincing arguments too.

casey anthony anyone?
Well she's guilty as hell. :P
it certainly would appear so to almost ANYONE looking from the outside, but fact remains the da pressed forward with a case without sufficient evidence to convict. appears at least similar to this case in that aspect.

The difference was one case resulted in convictions, the other did not. Based on what I've seen and read, they both resulted in gross injustice - maybe for some of the same reasons, maybe for different reasons.
I try not to rush to judgment and have seen enough to be very skeptical of police and prosecutors side of the story as much as I am of the accused. Bottom line is that guilty people go free and innocent people go to prison - those are the caveats of our justice system - all we can do is keep both to a minimum.

point???
Just because there's a convincing argument, doesn't make something so.
People make convincing arguments about all kinds of things; bigfoot, aliens, Nessie, black helicopters and so on ad infinitum. It doesn't make them any more real.

It was an argument based on evidence and lack thereof and not made by the convicts, but by independent investigators. Keep up, Sporko.

I don't see what jumping... If they were wrongly convicted then hold a retrial... if acquitted then they should be entitled to compensation for wrongful conviction & detention, otherwise put back in prison / death row. It's the plea bargains and deals that give me the bad taste.
Your right, I don't know the facts but I would expect a retrial to get to that with a decision. There would need to be impetus for the retrial - new evidence or whatever, so let a jury hear it and decide.

must we let another media scandal tear us apart?
Too late! The damage is done. Sporko has been permanently removed from my Christmas card list. ...well at least for the next month or two. :P
