I’m confused. If they’re admitting guilt, how are they being released?

I’m going to have to read more about this.

Reading the comments seems to put it together. Their cases are up for review, in light of DNA evidence that pretty much exonerates all three, in coming months. The police are scared shitless that, if the three are released, they’ll sue the state for wrongful imprisonment. So, the offer is that they get out a few months early in exchange for guilty pleas, which would prevent them from filing said lawsuits upon release.

Sounds to me like CYA for a bunch of “good ol’ boys.”
