Sock Full of Boiled Dimes

For all who don't know the West Memphis 3 is a classic case of trial by media, police corruption, coercion, and all around fuckupper that has caused 3 kids to be in prison since 1993.
If you don't know there's an entire (biased mind you) wikipedia article here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Memphis_3
Even though it is biased it shows good evidence that the Police in the area heavily fucked up the case and that the conviction may have been wrong.
Recently there has been word that the case is going to reopen and I even signed a petition at my college for a retrial headed up by the Criminal Justice/English department of UALR. In fact this case is talked about a lot around the Criminal Justice Deptartment.
Now that things are starting to reopen I was wondering if anyone had any thoughts on the situation. If they are guilty or not guilty.
What do you think?
