Obviously their lawyers approve of their appearance on 60 minutes. What do the guys have to gain by this?
There are a lot of people out there who believe silence indicates guilt. Not true of course but it's just the way it is. Some people only know what the MSM has told them. It may help get the truth out there. A lot of them have no idea what the evidence is (or is NOT) in this case.
Michael Gaynor has been saying for a while that the boys should be proclaiming their innocence at every opportunity. Similar to DE's very powerful "fantastic lies" statement. His thoughts are that they shouldn't be hiding behind their lawyers if they have nothing to hide and supposedly the "truth" on their side...
Looks like he now may be getting his wish..
They could gain quite a bit if they're presented favorably, but I don't trust 60M to do that.
