I thought we had a thread about this case at one time.....but I cant find it if we did.
I dont know if anyone else has followed this case like I have, for those that dont know about it here are couple of sites where you can get familiar with it if you wish

Two documentaries were made, Paradise Lost and Paradise Lost 2: New Revelations.

No physical evidence linked either Damien Echols, Jessie Misskelley or Jason Baldwin to the crime, and bite marks on one of the victims didn't match any of the three. Plus, the obvious main suspect, the stepfather of one of the victims, presented documentary filmmakers with a knife stained with blood that matched the type of one of the victims! Even the father of one of the victims said, "I believe the wrong people are in prison for this crime."

It was released, yesterday I think, that new DNA results have been released, tying evidence at the crime scene to one of the kids step fathers and this particular evidence does not belong to John Mark Byers (father of victim Christopher Byers).
Anyway, I wondered if anyone else here followed this case and was as excited as I am that its FINALLY being reopened
