I will say that I thought they were guilty for a long time. One things that supports their lack of guilt is their lack of recidivism. Human nature is such that you commit that type of crime for one of two reasons: 1) hate that turns into gage ; 2) true predatory behavior. Regardless, both will repeat the behavior bc they cat control the rage or urge to predate or a weaker victim. Here , NONE of the three have committed any know subsequent acts of a violent nature. They are either an extreme anomaly or innocent.

Very good point. I believe Echols has written a book or two. Studies crystals, healing thru magick, mysticism, or the like. No run-ins with the law.

Baldwin has founded/helped out with innocence projects for other alleged wrongfully convicted people. No run-ins with the law.

Misskelley does construction and generally keeps the lowest of profiles by staying close to family. He did get pulled over for driving without a license, I believe, but nothing came of it.

They don't seem like people who have had problems with discipline or failure to control urges since being released.

Interrogate a mentally disabled guy long enough, you’ll find inconsistencies in his story. Come back a few time over the next few hours to “clear up” problems with his story until you get him saying the “right” thing. Let him know that once we get his side all cleared up, he can go. Get it all on tape and you’ve got a confession. Unconstitutional and shouldn’t stand in court.
