A Memphis TV station is reporting two will be released. Maybe Echols is going to call their bluff and make them give him a new trial or drop the charges.
Local station in Jonesboro not reporting release yet.

I am a lawyer in Memphis and I have been following this carefully since the day the murders were committed. I am a law and order conservative and pro-law enforcement, but I really believe they got it wrong in this case. I believe new trials were inevitable. I also believe the prosecution would lose and they knew it. This agreement saves a bit of face for the D.A.
