So I can completely understand when you didn't have the certainty of the actual answer, why you would have been like, oh, what do I do with this?

This is what you were talking about with rabbit holes.

How were those convictions overturned?

Because that happened many, many years later, I think around 2007, 8, if I'm right.

So, you know, these men spent a decade, nearly a decade in prison.

And they literally got out.

Well, he described it as I walked out of prison into another prison, basically, with everyone thinking I was guilty.

Yeah.

Well, Maurice died at the hands of police.

In 2010.

So, I mean, it followed him too.

So the plan was to retry these men and try and get them back to prison.

And then that's when the DNA kind of comes into everything.

So they were going to get the DNA and retry it with modern technologies.

But you kind of show that the DA, the district attorney, was kind of trying to be like, well, it's contaminated, you can't use it.

And you kind of proved that that's not really a thing.

Can you explain that?

They knew that that DNA wasn't contaminated, and then they realized that it didn't match any of the boys.

So it did mean that Springsteen and Scott weren't just kind of having their charges dismissed.
