Just saw this and don't understand how
Alford pleas would be accepted if they were guilty. Come on, justice would only be served if a new trial was held right? If the evidence isn't good enough, then the law should let them go. I suspect the men were released only because the evidence against them was too weak to convict.
Not that that proves they were innocent, but it knocks down the notion that the case was very strong to begin with...
