Actually Merry, being unfamiliar with the case, I can see where they did proceed with the sentence. (Strictly speaking, there might still been enough to uphold the original conviction. If the 7 that recanted were not integral to the conviction, kind of "Yeah, he did it" people, then removing them from the case might not be pivotal).

OTOH, the way that, after 20 years, that the parents are still bitter and calling for "justice served" is just sad.

No matter how much we say we are evolved, we seem to have this primordial viciousness that refuses to die. Eye for an eye, blood for blood, no matter who is really "at fault" or what the end result may be.
