Every single person that participated in this gross miscarriage of justice should spend a lot of time behind bars!

Life sentences for all!

I agree that financial restitution is warranted. The problem is, it is the poor suffering taxpayer who pays.

I want the people who wrongly convicted him to pay, but have no idea how that might work.

Yes, and she stuck by him all the way through.

THAT is one happy couple! I hope they make it all the way!

It is.

His defense attorney should be prosecuted IMO.

She was also the attorney for the other possible perp, and didn’t disclose it.

It doesn’t sound like she really put her all into his defense. That’s a huge conflict of interest, considering the other person seems to have done it.

Yikes.

Horrible attorney....25 year plea deal when he had all the evidence to free him right on his phone.

She...this reprehensible defense attorney...is the one who should pay restitution, along with this inane ‘detective’, to this man.

Where does Greg go to get his (missed out on) life, opportunities and reputation back?

I’m hostile to her also.

Defense attorneys are often newbies if they’ve been appointed by the court though.

I’m not sure what her situation was, but the bottom line is she had a clear conflict of interest. She shouldn’t get to walk away from that.

The appearance of a conflict of interest may not be validated, but man, the situation turning out like it did, her actions loom large.

Because the defendant had an innocent mind set, and wasn’t aware, as the forensic detective was, that the guilty erase their phones.

That is why EVERYONE in the legal system failed him, and should be held accountable!

One wonders how so many clueless people from the police on up to the judge got hired. And why a “midnight verdict”?
