The big problem here is the FOIA case (brought by an attorney, KS, representing JMB and PH). When the judge (not Burnett) ruled that JMB and PH could not have access to their children's possessions, it was a tacit admission that the case is not truly closed. The district prosecutor, SE, agreed during the Clinton School Q & A after the Alford pleas to consider any new information sent to him by the defense team. Although some additional information has been sent, SE has done nothing with it. IMO, this means either that he didn't consider it "compelling" (a judgement call) or he is suppressing the import of such information. However, IMO, it is true that any reopening of this case must come from the State of Arkansas. The Alford pleas were a type of guilty plea, and, as such, the defendants can't appeal, except for insufficient counsel. That's why I've repeatedly said that the solution lies with pressuring the State of Arkansas to correct this miscarriage of justice. We can continue to examine this case and comment on it, but any movement toward justice must originate with the State of Arkansas. With the recent change in political party at the top (governor and attorney general), I do have some hope for success. That's why I continue to read and discuss this case. I want justice, and justice hasn't been served!
