[QUOTE="HMFIC, post: 1602787, member: 7539"] Ya, there is no possible way to really KNOW the truth. I had never really heard of this case so it's all fresh to me. I found this concerning the plea... it certainly explains the question that I had regarding them going ahead with this arrangement: [INDENT][INDENT][I]Not all of the three welcomed the deal. During the 1994 trial, prosecutors offered to reduce Mr. Baldwins sentence if he pleaded guilty and testified against Mr. Echols. He refused then and initially resisted this deal, insisting as a matter of principle that he would not plead guilty to something he did not do. But, he said, his refusing this deal would have meant Mr. Echols stayed on death row. This was not justice, he said of the deal. However, theyre trying to kill Damien. The lawyers for the men said they would continue to pursue full exoneration. Other than that, none of the men said they had any immediate plans. [/I][/INDENT][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
