I don't think his 'fan club' ever said he wasn't guilty of any of the murders. Their argument was that he has done so much good since being imprisoned, he should be granted clemency.
Whatever 'good' he has done while in prison is not legal justification for the CASC for the the court to delay his execution, so the last hope to get judicial relief from the Tuesday execution was to raise some 'new issue'. i really doubt his attorneys ever thought this ploy would work.
