Ok, so it's a strange way to release them but they are finally out after serving 18yrs in jail (one of them on death row) for convictions that are in the opinion of alot of people complete bks...

If you haven't seen it go and find the documentary 'Paradise Lost' about the killings. Wikipedia also sums up alot of the known details very well, check out the bits about the stepfather in particular.

yeah... good job they need things like evidence, DNA, etc..... no wait.....

It's a long article but the Wiki page is actually pretty comprehensive. Take special notice of John Mark Byres. Why he was not looked at in more detail is just baffling, DNA evidence, a knife with some blood, removing his own teeth after the first trail mentioned bite marks found etc. And even more strange is that he's now championing their inocence... bizzare

The whole thing is a sick joke
