Don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic development, but I don't consider railroading somebody like this then keeping him in prison for a decade "justice".

The justice is that he will soon be released. Better late than never, I guess.

Freaking amazing! I think he is actually innocent. Avery not so much but innocent under the law (if he was released and moments later hit by a bus I would shed no tears).

They are both innocent of the crimes charged. The Manitowoc law enforcement community was absolutely corrupt. Maybe that has changed now, but at the time they were rotten.

I believe he will eventually be fully exonerated and released, but as far as this round goes I believe an appeal will be filed within the 90 days and he's going to stay in for a bit more.

I doubt there will be an appeal. As the movie pointed out, the prosecution very clearly erred in a very big way, and it was all recorded, basically.

The only reason there was a conviction was because the jury was grossly prejudiced.

I'll wager you a gentleman's bet of nothing that they appeal. ;)

Most prosecutors have no sense of shame - they will reflecxively appeal.

Well you're right about the lack of shame, for sure.

Time will tell gents. I suppose it depends on how healthy Manitowoc County's funds are for legal maneuvers.
