I knew no way in hell those kids did this, it was just too fricking evil. I hope they are getting an apology at least. Of course, they are lucky. Texas has murdered what 4 or 5 dna confirmed innocent people so far. Actual number is probably in the dozens.

TMZ DNA finds the killer

You have any evidence of this? Would like to see the list.

Here you go:

While there is no way to definitively prove a person's innocence after execution, several cases in Texas have presented compelling evidence of potential wrongful execution. The Death Penalty Information Center has documented at least 10 instances of presumed wrongful executions in Texas, representing almost half of such cases nationwide.
Notable cases include:
Carlos DeLuna: Executed in 1989 for the murder of a convenience store clerk, DeLuna maintained his innocence. An investigation by Columbia Law School found compelling evidence that the real killer was Carlos Hernandez, a man with a similar appearance and a history of violent crimes. During DeLuna's trial, prosecutors had dismissed the idea of a "Carlos Hernandez" as a phantom.
Ruben Cantu: Executed in 1993, Cantu's conviction was based largely on the testimony of a single eyewitness. The witness later recanted his testimony, stating he was pressured by police to identify Cantu. A former Bexar County District Attorney, Sam Millsap, has since spoken out about his involvement in Cantu's case and his regret.
Cameron Todd Willingham: Executed in 2004 for the 1991 arson-murder of his three young daughters, Willingham's case was based on outdated and scientifically debunked arson theories. Multiple experts concluded that the fire was likely an accident. A 2009 article in The New Yorker extensively dismantled the evidence used to convict him, including unreliable testimony from a jailhouse informant.
Claude Jones: Executed in 2000, Jones's conviction for a 1989 murder relied on the testimony of a single informant and a single strand of hair found at the crime scene. Post-execution DNA testing showed the hair did not belong to Jones.
Larry Swearingen: Executed in 2019, Swearingen proclaimed his innocence for decades. The defense contended that multiple pieces of evidence exonerated him, including forensic evidence that potentially pointed to another perpetrator. Despite this, the execution proceeded.
Ivan Cantu: Executed in 2024 for a 2000 double murder, Cantu always maintained his innocence. His supporters pointed to new evidence that undermined the testimony of key witnesses and raised questions about prosecutorial misconduct.
Wrongful convictions on death row later exonerated
In addition to the cases of potential wrongful execution, Texas has also released innocent people from death row due to exoneration. For example, since 1973, 18 individuals in Texas who were sentenced to death have been exonerated. Some notable exonerations in Texas include:
Ernest Ray Willis: Sentenced to death for a 1986 fire that killed two women, Willis was exonerated in 2004 after arson experts determined there was no evidence the fire was intentionally set.
Alfred Dewayne Brown: Convicted and sentenced to death for the 2003 murder of a police officer, Brown was exonerated and freed in 2015 after prosecutors discovered evidence that was withheld from his defense. He is one of only 16 innocent people to have been exonerated from death row in Texas.
Michael Morton: Served nearly 25 years in prison, including time on death row, for the 1986 murder of his wife. DNA evidence later led to his exoneration and identified another man as the killer.

I can’t imagine how satisfying this must be for the parents to finally get closure, this has been a very popular case, I remember whenever it happened

Glad to see the real killer was finally identified. It never sat right that teenagers were blamed for something so brutal.

Whereas nowadays, with the mentorship of the internet and dark web, vicious games and movies, brutal murders are no longer age limiting.

Don't be named "Cantu" that's for sure.

I want a follow up documentary with all the arrogant detective and the smug family members who “knew” that the 4 guys were guilty.

They knew it for a fact.

Except they were wrong. Completely wrong.

Maybe leave the family members out of that. They had teenage daughters tied up with their own clothes, raped, shot in the back of the head, and then had their bodies set on fire.
