It seems like some people forget that these 3 were young teenagers accused of a horrific crime. I'm not the same person I was when I was 18 and I'm sure that goes for many other people as well.

These guys have done a lot of growing up in prison, no doubt. People need to start looking beyond how they acted when they were young and stupid and wanting to stick it to the man.

What if some of us just believe they are guilty? Since they were young, we just let 'em go?

I am not as well versed as some of you-has the Innocence Project been involved in this case at all?

I'm not sure, a friend asked that very question last night, I haven't had a chance to look into it, sorry

JMO, ITA, it's about getting the state off the hook for massive compensation. JMO

Arkansas law does not allow for compensation.

FYI, AR Attorney General Dustin McDaniel is running for governor in 2014. IMO makes for intersting timing.

"Two candidates—Attorney General Dustin McDaniel and U.S. Rep. Mike Ross, the six-term congressman from south (and now part of northwest) Arkansas—are gearing up for the race."

"Until now, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel's office has stood by the convictions and fought against new proceedings. Because of the gag order, the AG's office cannot comment on this latest development."

Would you agree to that if you were in prison all these years and knew you were totally innocent? I'd want to get compensated and big time too. Not just a here you go....sign this and you're on your way but by signing this you have to admit guilt to the crime. HUH???? Makes absolutely no sense to me.

They are aware of the case, and monitor it, but the Innocence Project only gets involved when someone has no other means of defense. These three have had a support group for longer than the Innocence Project has even existed so they've never needed their help.

I think they did file an Amicus brief with the ASSC to protest against Judge Burnett's interpretation of the DNA statute though.

Natalie from Dixie Chicks reporting gag order lifted and WM3 will go free.

That's not what I said.

No you didn't say that. And no offense to anyone, quite frankly imo, our opinions don't matter. Doesn't stop us from voicing them, and it definitely shouldn't stop us from voicing them here IMO

Maybe all of their celebrity supporters and other fans will take care of that. Charity events, bake sales, etc.

They were convicted not just accused. Young and stupid is no excuse to murder.

It seems to me that some of you people forget that these 3 were convicted in a court of law for brutally murdering three innocent children and one of them has confessed, multiple times and even in the presence of his defense lawyer who begged him not to confess.

There are enough holes and doubt in the case that they are being granted new hearings.

Someone murdered those 3 boys and hopefully with the advancements in DNA testing since 93' it can shed some more light on things.
