Three Go Free

This is the underside of plea bargaining. They used what was called the "Alford plea" to get these guys out of prison. That's where you can plead guilty and still claim to be innocent. In this case I think the law got it 3/4 right. The other 1/4 is what's causing the problem. They are using a technology that wasn't around when they were convicted, to get them out now. I find it interesting that Jason Baldwin didn't want to accept the deal. He took it to save his padre Damien Echols. Who had more to lose than the other two did. Jesse Misskelley whose confession got this whole thing started. Has been the quietest of the three. I don't  think they're all guilty, but I don't believe they're innocent either. Maybe not first degree murder, but something happened here. Whatever it was. Three go free.
