I think this is long overdue. I don't believe any of them committed the crime. I do find it troubling that they are expected to admit guilt though. And I do think it is in part to help the state "save face."
I hope the case is further investigated and the real killer(s) brought to justice.

I agree...the state will NEVER admit they made a mistake and convicted the wrong people for this crime.

(CBS/AP) LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - The trio known as the "West Memphis Three," convicted as teenagers in the 1993 killings of three 8-year-old Cub Scouts in eastern Arkansas, could be released from custody as early as today, according to multiple sources.
A source familiar with the case, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told The Associated Press the potential deal would involve a legal maneuver allowing Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley and Jason Baldwin to maintain their innocence while acknowledging prosecutors have enough evidence to win a conviction.
