      Just having someone confess isn’t enough to ~prove~ another’s innocence (yes I know the burden is on the state, but just in general, the one confessing doesn’t mean the other person had zero involvement whatsoever). Sometimes multiple people could be the culprits but one or more of them try to take the brunt of responsibility (they all know that they’re facing life in prison without parole but they can try to spare a friend the same fate)
      Not saying that’s what happened here, but you watch enough cop shows (“COPS” for instance) and it happens, but usually with drug and/or firearm possession or who stole the car… one ~claims~ that *they* did all the crimes and then picked up others that somehow didn’t think anything odd of the situation, while video shows they all did the crime together…
      My question is this…
      What’s the point of going into hiding to avoid death threats, only to then have your *~CURRENT~* appearance and names shown on TV which is then available online for all to see… now everyone knows your name *AND* what you both look like

Notice this reporting and none of the others actually discuss what was argued in court?
      It's because the defense story is he just gave him a ride to the party , came back, went inside and just got his DNA everywhere while the actual killer made held him at gun point while the real killer used two hand guns like a movie and the wrongly accused man just happened to not tell the cops any of this or report being a victim of a crime and witnessing a quadruple homicide for reasons until after other people started naming him to the cops
