re: #85 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Yeah, none of the DNA found either at the scene or on the victims leads back to the three defendants, but some belongs to a stepfather of one of the boys, as well as his buddy who he claimed he was with the day of the murders.

And that’s on top of a report of a guy showing up at a local restaurant on the day of the murders, covered in blood, that the cops never followed up. Didn’t even taken a sample for DNA testing. And the case for two of the boys relied upon the forced confession of the third, who was mentally handicapped, who they leaned on for hours before he snapped.

That the cops who’ve spent 2 decades standing behind their case against these three are now looking to make a deal seems to be a pretty solid sign that the sentences are likely to be overturned.

I just went thru and looked at additional info, and there seems to have been some huge errors made during the investigation.
