CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
DNA Tests Clear Wrongfully Convicted Half-Brothers After 30 Years

And two mentally ill people (teenagers at the start) who were coerced by police into false confessions, haven't been able to see 30 years worth of things that other people their ages get to see.

Then put on some glasses.
Coerced confessions of people that are mentally incapacitated in the absence of ANY physical evidence that would put them at the crime scene.

Nobody's been able to provide any examples of said coercion. An for the record, the judges and juries didn't buy itThen put on some glasses.

The cigarette butt DNA would've provided reasonable doubt had it been available at the earlier trial.

Now that verdict is thrown out. If there was sufficiant evidence to counter the DNA results, the Judge would simply deny the motion. Or, the judge could order a retrial. In essence, the judge is ruling that there would not likely have been a conviction had this evidence been available at the time of the original trial and appeal.They were founf guilty, beyond a reasonable doubt, and that verdict held up under appeal
The judicial process does not cap the number of appeals. In each case, a judge or panel can deny the request.
