Anybody else been following this case over the years?

One of the worst miscarriges of justice ever, and the subject of the Paradise Lost documentaries,  finally comes to an end with a bizarre "innocent but guilty" Alford plea.

Watch the press conference and find out more here

Just pity all the other poor bastards still locked up in the USA and around the world in similar circumstances.

Don't know about this case an awful lot, just what i read yesterday to do with peter jackson funding the appeals. reminds me of a doco i saw on discovery about the Peggy Hettrick murder case where a young teen was wrongly jailed on some extremely poor evidence and police work. cant imagine much how dreadful that would be to spend time locked up for a crime you didn't commit

any way to see those paradise lost documentaries?

Quite a story.
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

Haven't really been following it but been aware of the Black Flag-related compilation album and the like for quite some time.
