2 brothers exonerated after 30 years behind bars

[Petal]

They have lost the best years of their lives. Idc what anyone says, but don't think any amount of compensation can make up for that? Oh and 1 was on death row, the other was given life imprisonment for the rape and murder of an 11 y/o girl.

So very sad.

And I posted this thread in July in which another man was exonerated after spending 12 years behind bars (unrelated to this case)

Not only that - their names have been tarnished with the reputation that precedes being convicted (however wrongly) of being a child murderer. So will they ever truly be able to be compensated for the loss of time? Not as far as I can see.

It just goes to show how shocking the judicial system is, as well as certain aspects of the police force in the locality who put these guys behind bars.

Surely with no real hard evidence, not one bit linking them to it, there couldn't have been a case to fight for?
