What a great movie i saw all three many years ago and then i think one of them was due for execution around 2000 so thank god they got released..
Alot of people say that their is not 100% proof they didnt do it but the confession speaks volumes. After many hours with no legal advice or parents one of boys confesses to the crime. The major problem with the confession is the recording of it. The confession is completely lead and when he gets bits wrong the police keep pushing him to change it untill it fits. At the time of the arrest the only people that had seen the bodies were the police and the police believed the boys had been raped. Jessie admits the rape. When it goes to trial it turns out they were never raped so how did he admit to something that never happened and the disp[osal of the blood was insane even an expert said it couldnt be done.
The alford plea was an affront. Only in america are you allowed to plead guilty to a lesser offence whilst denying your guilt at the same time and the plea be accepted as long as you promise never to sue the goverment for the 18 years you lost
