Even before their trial, it was obvious that these young men -- really boys at the time of the crime -- were guilty. They all confessed. The whole thing was in the newspapers. There were no two sides to it. Then they were tried and convicted. Guilty.

It was obvious that they were guilty until they'd served most or all of their sentences and then the real rapist confessed and DNA tests were run and their cases were brought back to court and their convictions were vacated.

I am not convinced that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is guilty. Not saying he's innocent, just that picture we get is only the one we're shown, and it may not tell the whole story.
